Era of Prosperity of Pyongyang Brought by Tireless Guidance

Launching Another Construction Project


How was Jonwi Street in the area of the northern gateway to the capital city of Pyongyang built?

At the 13th Politburo Meeting of the 7th Party Central Committee convened on June 7, 2020, the respected Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong Un underlined the need to direct nationwide efforts to launching housing construction in Pyongyang in a bold manner and set forth a task to promptly formulate measures for building 50 000 flats in several areas including the Songsin, Songhwa and Sopho areas.

At that time, neither funds for construction nor finishing materials had been calculated.

However, he unfolded such a grand plan in severe conditions and environment, so eager to provide our people with places for a happy living.

Consequently, an operation was launched to build flats in the Sopho area as well as several other areas in Pyongyang and an architectural formation plan for a new modern street was completed.

One day in October, 2022, the respected Comrade General Secretary appreciated that the architectural formation plan was made nicely and stressed the need to build more flats in the street by focusing all efforts and that, with the modern street completed, too, our capital city would be completely face-lifted.

Cherishing a desire to turn our capital city into an ideal city of the people where new socialist life and civilization are brought into bloom, the respected Comrade General Secretary, at the 6th Plenary Meeting of the 8th Party Central Committee held in December that year, stressed the need to build another new street in the Sopho area in addition to the construction of 10 000 flats at the second stage in the Hwasong area.

Indeed, the large-scale construction which was conducted in the Sopho area apart from the second-stage construction in the Hwasong area was a manifestation of the noble outlook on the people of the respected Comrade General Secretary who spares nothing for the people, putting it forward as the top priority to realize the people’s demands and interests.
