Kim Jae Ryong, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, member of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and premier of the Cabinet, inspected several units of the national economy.

Walking round the Sunchon Phosphate Fertilizer Factory under construction, Kim Jae Ryong stressed that relevant units should supply materials in a responsible manner and produce facilities on a high level. He also inspected the Unsan Prospecting Machine Factory under construction and the Sunchon Heat Insulating Materials Factory, and called for meticulously carrying out the production and management and putting the work for cost reduction on a scientific basis.

He stressed that the economic executives should solve problems arising in production and construction in time by enhancing their responsibility and role and push ahead with important construction projects through proper cooperation among ministries.

After learning about the updating of the Pyongyang Pharmaceutical Factory and inspecting the Pyongyang Dental Hygiene Products Factory, he took measures for giving precedence to designing and settling problems probably arising in construction and management in a far-sighted way.

He also visited the Coal-Mining Machine Repair Factory of the Anju Area Coal-Mining Complex to discuss the issue of increasing the proportion of locally available fuel.
