Proud Reality Brought by Our Party’s Policy on Irrigation Construction

The material and technical foundations of the rural economy have been remarkably strengthened in recent years of the struggle for implementing the Party’s rural revolution programme in the new era.

The respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un clearly indicated the tasks for substantially promoting the irrigation construction including the issue of making the annual plan to adjust and reinforce the irrigation system of the country in general, the issue of firstly conducting the construction in the areas often suffering damage by drought and flooding, the issue of conducting dredging beds of mid- and small rivers and streams, bank repairing and the construction of anti-tidal dykes in a qualitative way.

The irrigation construction of more than ４６０,０００ hectares across the country has been concluded in the recent two years and water can be supplied to paddy-fields of nearly １０,０００ hectares which had been turned into dry fields. This proud reality proves the justness of our Party’s policy on the irrigation construction.

Now officials and working people across the country work hard to finish the planned irrigation construction for paddy-fields of over ２００,０００ hectares until the date they pledged before the Party without fail this year.
