Kim Jong Il Provides Field Guidance to Construction Site of Tanchon Port

Pyongyang, October 3 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, provided field guidance to the construction site of Tanchon Port.
Thanks to the ardent patriotism and devoted labor drive of the builders of the port, the port has made its clear appearance in the main to be capable of handling millions of tons of cargo a year. As a result, this has provided a bright prospect for massively exporting lead, zinc, magnesia clinker and light burned magnesia produced in the Komdok and Tanchon areas.
Being briefed on the port before a large map showing its panoramic view, he went round various places of the construction site to acquaint himself in detail with the projects.
Feasting his eyes on breakwaters extending toward rough sea, port dredging ground, the paved wharf, the port's main building now under construction in a peculiar way, etc., he expressed great satisfaction over the projects.
The construction of Tanchon Port is as vast as the project for reclaiming the Taegyedo Tideland, he said.
He underlined the need to finish the dredging work at Wharf No. 2, in particular at an early date so that ships may enter the port in the near future and to complete the overall construction projects on the ground including the main building to ensure that the port operates from the next year.
