Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to build 10,000 flats in Hwasong Area

Addis Ababa, February 15, 2022 (FBC) – Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has unveiled a new project to build 10 000 flats in the capital city of Pyongyang to celebrate the 80th birth anniversary of Chairman Kim Jong Il as a great revolutionary auspicious event.

Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, attended the ground-breaking ceremony.

The construction of 10 000 flats in the Hwasong area will begin under the plan for building 50 000 flats in Pyongyang City set forth at the 8th Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the decision made at the 4th Plenary Meeting of the Party Central Committee.

“The venue for the ceremony was overflowing with the enthusiasm of the soldier-builders and civilian-builders determined to translate the long-cherished desire of our Party into a brilliant reality and take the lead in accelerating the development of our-style socialist civilization by ceaselessly performing exploits in the most worthwhile and glorious work determined by the Party Congress, true to the new construction revolution programme of the Party Central Committee,” the leader said while addressing the ceremony.

Present there were Jo Yong Won and Kim Tok Hun, members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the WPK, Ri Il Hwan and O Su Yong, secretaries of the Party Central Committee, Pak Hun, vice-premier of the Cabinet, and other Party and government cadres, and officials in the city including those of the Cabinet, ministries and national institutions.

Also present were Ri Yong Gil, Kim Jong Gwan and other officials of the armed forces organs.

Kim Jong Un made speech saying: “Let Us Further Glorify the Golden Age of Capital City Construction by Bringing about a Sea-change in the Hwasong Area.”

He said that the construction of 10 000 flats in the Hwasong area, one of the top priority tasks facing the construction sector this year, is not only the second project for carrying out the long-term goal for housing construction in Pyongyang City, a long-cherished plan of the Party whose implementation started last year, but also the first-stage construction for turning the area into a new modern town.
