Supreme Leader Provides Guidance Over Master Plan for Sinuiju Construction
Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, examined and guided the master plan for the construction of Sinuiju City, together with the leading officials of Party, administrative and design organs of North Phyongan Province.

He was accompanied by Choe Ryong Hae, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee, vice-chairman of the DPRK State Affairs Commission and vice-chairman of the WPK Central Committee; Jo Yong Won and Kim Yong Su, deputy department directors of the WPK Central Committee; Kim Chang Son and Ma Won Chun, officials of the State Affairs Commission; Jong Kyong Il, chairman of the North Phyongan Provincial People's Committee; Ri Thae Il, vice-chairman of the North Phyongan Provincial Party Committee; Ri Jae Nam, chairman of the Sinuiju City Party Committee; Ri Jong Ryol, chairman of the Sinuiju City People's Committee; and officials of relevant institutions including the North Phyongan Provincial City Designing Office.

Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un learned about the implementation of the lifetime instructions of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il on the construction of Sinuiju and examined the master plan for the construction of the city and a diorama of the future city, before setting forth the tasks and ways for sprucing up the city in line with the requirements of the present times.

He instructed officials to form the city centre deep up to the South Sinuiju area with the statues of the President and the Chairman at the city’s central square as the axis, arrange high-rise apartment houses and provincial- and city-level public buildings around the city centre to produce a three-dimensional effect, dispose the residential areas with high-rise apartment buildings and skyscrapers along the central axis and thoroughfare of the city and the banks of the Amnok River splendidly in terms of formative arts and build many parks in the residential areas in order to turn Sinuiju into a city in the park.

In order to build Sinuiju as befits a border city of the country, it is needed to build many modern and magnificent structures rich in national colour, he said, adding that such public buildings as theatre, cinema, sports village, ice rink and sci-tech library and such service facilities as hotel and department store should be laid out in a rational way and built wonderfully to suit the aesthetic taste of the times.

He also indicated the direction of sprucing up the existing industrial areas and remodelling the railway station of the city and Uiju Airport in a modern way.

He noted that Sinuiju construction on which the President and the Chairman had given instructions dozens of times is a very important task for implementing their behests and the project should come to fruition in some years to come.
