Embassy of the DPR Korea in Bangladesh

Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission, provided field guidance to the fish farm managed by Kim Jong Hwan.

He looked round gravity-fed river pond, fry pond, fish pond, a hatchery and other places of the farm to learn about the fish breeding.

He watched with satisfaction for a long time the shoals of fishes as big as forearm sailing in the pond.

After acquainting himself again with the doubled production in the pond with fishes growing faster than in other ponds as their metabolism is promoted when going upstream, he said this method deserves to be popularized.

He expressed again great satisfaction over the fact that employees of the farm spruced up the fishing ground in the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and bred plenty of fishes, thereby making positive contribution to improving the people's diet. He highly appreciated their devoted service.

He said the people can actually benefit from the farm as it is not only situated in the right area rich in source of quality water and good in breeding but is equipped with sufficient facilities needed for fish production.

After looking round the farm, he advanced tasks in breeding more fishes.

Fish farming is cost-effective and highly profitable field, he said, adding this is also the most rapid way for supplying the people with fresh fishes in all seasons.

It is necessary to positively study, develop and introduce good breeds which grow fast while eating less feed, he said.

Fish farming should be put on a scientific, intensive and industrial basis. It is essential to solve the scientific and technological problems in the field of fish farming from the Juche stand and, at the same time, steadily enhance the role of feeders and technicians, he added.

He expressed expectation and belief that the officials and employees of the farm would rapidly increase the fish production and thus make positive contribution to realizing the desire of PresidentKim Il Sung who was considerate of supplying the people with abundant fishes in his lifetime.

Kim Jong Il was accompanied by Kim Kyong Hui, member of the Political Bureau and department director of the C.C., the WPK, Jang Song Thaek, alternate member of the Political Bureau of the C.C., the WPK and vice-chairman of the NDC, and Han Kwang Sang, first vice department director of the C.C., the WPK.
