The Immortal Ideological And Theoretical Exploits Achieved By The Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un For The Development Of Light Industry

The Fourth Plenary Meeting of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea which set forth a strategic policy to vigorously promote the full-scale development of socialist construction of our style, presented the task of setting it as an important task of light industry to revitalize the production of consumer goods and practicing them firmly.

Without the undying feats of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who is making tireless efforts to make the Korean people who invariably believe in and follow the Party as the happiest in the world by making the precious assets of light industry provided by the great leaders at the cost of their efforts, our light industry couldn't have developed consistently in the world public health crisis in which we lack everything.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"Efforts should be directed to developing light industry in order to solve the problem of consumer goods."

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un made it the most important cause of the Party and the state to realize the lifelong desire of the great leaders to make our people wealthy with envy at nothing in the world and achieved immortal ideological and theoretical exploits for the development of light industry.

The immortal ideological and theoretical exploits achieved by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un for the development of light industry of the nation are, first of all, that he clarified the revolutionary essence of developing light industry on the basis of a scientific analysis on the role of light industry in the people's livelihood and thus he made clear that the development of light industry in socialist society is not only an economic issue but also an important political undertaking.

Light industry is directly linked to the people's living. Light industry is an industrial sector that produces everything necessary for people to eat, wear and live in everyday life, and plays a very important role in ensuring the material and cultural life of the people.

The genuine advantages of the socialist system, in which the masses are the masters of everything and everything in society serves the masses, are manifested in various fields of social life, but they are concentrated in the state's activity which assumes full responsibility and provides everything for the material and cultural life of the people. In order to fully display the true superiority of our socialist system, we should radically improve the people's living standards so that they enjoy an independent and creative life to their hearts' content, not only politically but also materially and culturally.

If we radically improve the people's standard of living and provide the people with a rich and civilized life by developing light industry, they will fully understand the true advantages of our socialist system through their life experience and have a political and ideological determination to defend such a grateful system at the cost of their lives.

In almost every country, light industry is only recognized in the economic term of the social division of labour that produces and supplies consumer goods for the material and cultural life of the people.

But in our country, thanks to the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who regards the people as heaven and spares nothing for them, light industry serves as the primary work for the people and, furthermore, an important political and revolutionary work for demonstrating the advantages and vitality of socialism and strengthening the single-hearted unity of the Party and the masses.

The revolutionary essence of developing light industry of the nation was clarified by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, thus the independent and popular character of light industry was perfectly defined in the people centered socialist society of our style and the officials and the working people in light industry could work hard to develop light industry with the attitude, stand and noble mission of devoting themselves to the people.

The immortal ideological and theoretical feats achieved by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un for the development of light industry are that he clarified the important issues arising in boosting light industry in a comprehensive way, thus providing important guidelines for developing our light industry as required by the developing reality.

First of all, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un set forth the task of normalizing the production of consumer goods in the factories of light industry by taking thorough measures to supply raw materials.

The key solution to the problem of raw materials in light industry is to realize the localization of raw materials and resources, and we have to regard it as the seed and lifeline for the development of light industry and push ahead vigorously for its realization.

Due to the production and consumption characteristics of light industry, the supply of raw materials and resources is a key issue in determining the normalization of production.

In order to fully meet the ever-increasing demand for light industrial materials and resources and to reduce the dependence on their imports, it becomes the lifeline for the development of light industry to realize the localization of raw and other materials.

The localization of raw and other materials is the seed and lifeline of the development of light industry and this reflects the popular and independent character of light industry of our nation which bears full responsibility for the material and cultural needs of the people.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un also said that light industry should increase the production of consumer goods and improve their quality so that everyone prefers the home made products and clarified the issues arising in its implementation.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said that light industry must reject the tendency to lay stress only on the quantity of products and neglect the quality of the goods and stressed the need to produce consumer goods both in large quantities and at high quality.

If the quantity and quality of the products are not guaranteed in accordance with the ever-increasing material and cultural needs of the people, the mission of our light industry to serve the people cannot be fully fulfilled and the low quality consumer goods which the people do not want to use will be useless regardless of its amount.

To develop light industrial goods quantitatively and qualitatively is an important undertaking to provide our people with a more affluent material and cultural life, and at the same time to make them feel pride and self-confidence in home made products and to have the spirit of the Korean nation-first principle.

Therefore, the workers in light industry should increase production and, at the same time, turn out in the struggle to improve the quality of products by breaking through the cutting edge with a genuine spirit of service to the people and strong national self-respect.

In addition to this, the struggle to radically increase the production of consumer goods should be waged as a mass movement and as a nation-wide project.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un earnestly said that the August 3 Popular Consumer Goods Production Campaign should be conducted briskly as it did in the 1980s to produce more high quality consumer goods, and that all sectors and units should push ahead with the production of basic goods and daily necessities.

If the production of light industrial goods is restricted within light industrial sector itself, the demand of the people cannot be fully met.

The campaign to produce mass consumer goods should be carried out on a massive and on a whole-society scale in order to meet the diverse demand of the people for consumer goods without fail and to make the most effective use of all productive potentials of the country.

Compared to heavy industry, the technology, raw materials, materials and production methods used in the production of light industrial products are relatively simple, so waste or by-products of other industrial sectors can be used to produce consumer goods.

Therefore, if all sectors and units push ahead with the production of main products and daily necessities simultaneously, campaigns to diversity consumer goods and improve the quality of them are actively conducted and thus a positive contribution to improving the people's living standard is made.

The immortal ideological and theoretical feats achieved by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un for the development of light industry of the country are that he clarified the ways to rapidly improve the people's standard of living by bringing about a new turn in the development of light industry and thus paved a bright way for developing our light industry as soon as possible.

First of all, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said that in order to bring about a new turn in the development of light industry to improve the people's standard of living quickly, the officials in light industry should enhance their responsibilities and roles.

Officials in the field of light industry should make thorough preparations and fully discharge their responsibility and duty as commanding personnel who are in charge of the main sector to improve the people's living standard.

Unlike other industrial sectors light industrial factories have a relatively small investment size and production scale, so the success of production and management are ascribed entirely to the officials.

The production of light industrial goods depends on the officials' abilities to control the production and manage activities, including the investigation on the demand for the products, the mode of production, quality improvement, diversification of products and maneuvers of business management.

In order to fully meet the demand for consumer goods of the people, officials in light industry should operate and conduct their work based on the full understanding of the consumer demand, the existing conditions of their units and the production technologies.

Officials in the field of light industry should reject rigor, schema and slump in their work and organize production activities in a fresh and resilient manner with a high sense of responsibility for the people's livelihood, so that consumer goods favored by the people are manufactured in a large amount.

They should organize production and management activities in a scrupulous way with an abundant knowledge and insight into their work and conduct a tactical struggle to revitalize production by realizing expansion and reproduction by their own efforts.

And officials should acquire a proper attitude that the needs of the citizens should be met by the home made products, not by imported goods, and root out the tendencies to rely on imported goods which are the stumbling blocks to the development of light industry and vigorously push ahead with the work of the localization of raw and other materials.

The development of light industry of the nation can be accelerated only when officials in light industry are fully aware of their responsibility and mission to serve the people and make redoubled efforts.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un also said that in order to bring about a new turn in the development of light industry and thus improve the people's living standards quickly, the role of scientists and technicians in light industry should be enhanced.

At present to enhance the role of scientists and technicians in the field of light industry is an important guarantee for promoting the development of light industry.

The demand of the people are becoming diverse and civilized day by day and in order to satisfy it qualitatively and culturally, we must rely on science and technology, and this depends on the role of scientists and technicians.

Therefore, the scientists and technicians in light industry should solve the scientific and technological problems arising in the current production in time and push ahead with the work to localize the raw materials and to automate and robotize the production in a promising way, and to achieve such goals they should come up with innovative ideas and realize them persistently.

Scientific research should also be conducted to develop more light industrial products and functional products.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said that in order to bring about a new turn in the development of light industry and thus improve the people's living standards quickly, the whole state should attach importance to light industry and direct great efforts to its development.

Saying that light industry is closely related to various sectors of the national economy and that its development depends largely on how the relevant sectors help and push light industry, he said that the viewpoint and stand on light industry serves as a measure of the viewpoint and attitude towards the people and the Party.

The whole society should actively support light industry by developing the technique and finding out raw materials and other resources needed for the development of light industry.

In any sector and unit, there exists many production factors necessary for the development of light industry.

When all sectors and units of the national economy actively develop the technology and support equipment and materials needed for the production of light industry and the individual citizen turns out in securing idle materials and recycling, light industry of the nation will further develop and our life will become more luxurious.

With the idea and theories on the development of light industry clarified by respected Comrade Kim Jong Un as a guideline, our light industry has made a leap forward in a short period of time and will create a proud history of rapid progress and innovation in the future, too.
