Kim Jong Un Indicates Tasks for Land Management
Pyongyang, May 8 (KCNA) -- The dear respected Kim Jong Un in his work "On Effecting a Drastic Turn in Land Management to Meet the Requirements for Building a Thriving Socialist Nation" indicated tasks facing the field of land management.

The general orientation and overall tasks for the field of land management are to firmly preserve and always glorify leader Kim Jong Il's idea and leadership feats for land management and give a face-lift to the land of the country to suit a thriving socialist nation, Kim Jong Un said, and continued:

It is necessary to turn Pyongyang into the capital city of the sacred revolution, magnificent and picturesque world-class city based on the revolutionary outlook on the leader.

Greening should be done well to spruce up the areas around the statues of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, the Mansudae area and the area of the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun as the sacred temple of Juche as well as the Mangyongdae Revolutionary Site.

Pyongyang should be built into a center and model city of Songun culture so that Songun culture created in Pyongyang can spread to other parts of the country.

Local cities and rural villages should also be face-lifted to suit the specific local features.

Big efforts should be directed to land management and preservation, and the creation of forests and their protection and management should be done well to turn the whole country into thick woodland and greenery.

Attention should be paid to improving water management including the improvement of rivers and streams.

Road construction and management, protection of coastal and territorial waters and conservation of environment and nature should be done well.

The country's underground resources should be saved and protected well.

A master plan for land construction should be worked out in a scientific and realistic manner and it should be carried out under a long-term plan.

In the period of general mobilization movement for land management all the institutions, enterprises, co-op farms and all the people should take part in the work for land management. The period from every November to March the next year should be set as a period for protecting forest and underground resources and from every March to July as a period for protecting useful animals. The country's nature conservation should be done in an intensive way as an all-party, nationwide and all-people work in these periods.

He called for rapidly developing science and technology in the above-said field. He continued:

The Ministry of Land and Environmental Conservation and relevant institutions should conduct brisk joint study, academic exchange and information exchange with scientific research institutions of other countries and take part in international meetings and symposiums to introduce advanced science and technology.

Kim Jong Un called on all officials and people to dynamically wage the general mobilization movement for land management with ardent loyalty to the Party and warm patriotism and thus firmly preserve and always glorify Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il's idea and exploits performed in land construction and step up the building of a thriving socialist nation.
