Pyongyang, July 4 (KCNA) -- The Korean Central News Agency on July 3 reported that major sectors of the DPRK over-fulfilled their first half-yearly plans in the struggle for attaining 12 major goals for the development of the national economy.


All the people across the country are dynamically advancing to bring about a fresh upswing in the comprehensive development of Korean-style socialism under the uplifted banner of self-reliance along the road of advance indicated by the great Party Central Committee, the report said, and went on:


Amid the all-people struggle getting further intensified to open a new phase in socialist construction, eye-opening miracles have been made on the agricultural front, the first half-yearly national economic plans for major indices fulfilled in the fields of metallurgical, chemical, electric power, coal, machine-building, mining, forestry, railways and other industrial sectors and new standards and new records steadily created in the field of construction.


The socialist farm fields are seething with the struggle to attain the goal of grain production, the first and dominant goal among the major goals of the national economy.


In hearty response to the Party's programme for the rural revolution, irrigation projects have been pushed forward on a nationwide scale, thus laying material and technical foundations for preventing damage by drought and flooding in large areas of farm fields.


The agricultural workers and helpers devotedly worked hard to complete rice-transplanting on the main areas of the country in a short span of time and made other practical successes in the farming process.


Many farms across the country achieved good results in the farming of earlier crops by making strenuous efforts to expand the area of wheat and barley farming compared to the last year and put the manuring and cultivation on a scientific basis.


The drive for increased production and creation has been vigorously conducted in the major industrial sectors.


Workers in the metallurgical and chemical industries, twin pillars for economic development, over-fulfilled their rolled steel and nitrogenous fertilizer production plans for the first half of the year by 112 percent and 102 percent respectively, while taking the lead in the advance for great upsurge.


The production plans for rolled steel and iron ore of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry were successfully carried out in every month thanks to the high enthusiasm of the steel workers to consolidate the self-supporting economy.


Officials and workers of the Namhung Youth Chemical Complex and the Hungnam Fertilizer Complex fulfilled their quotas for supply of farming fertilizer in the manuring year before the set time.


The national plan for power production in the first half of the year was carried out at 101 percent.


The national coal production plan for the first half of the year was over-fulfilled at 104 percent, capital tunneling and preparatory tunneling have been pushed forward ahead of schedule and hundreds of preliminary coal faces were secured.

The national freight transport plan for the first half of the year was carried out at 105 percent amid the growing enthusiasm of the transport workers to carry more goods to different sectors of the national economy.


The workers in the forestry sector fulfilled their first-half-yearly quotas for the Ministry of Forestry, overcoming the difficulties and hardships facing them.


New standards and new records were created one after another in the construction sector including the housing construction welcomed by the people.


The first-stage construction of 10 000 flats in the area of Hwasong was successfully completed, the construction of additional 2 000 flats was finished, the construction of 1 400 flats in the Taephyong area was completed and rural villages boasting of civilization in the era of the Workers' Party were built one after another.


The second-stage construction of 10 000 flats in the Hwasong area, the construction of a new street in the Sopho area, the construction of Kangdong Greenhouse Farm and the housing construction in the Komdok area are progressing apace under the grandiose plan of the Workers' Party of Korea, too.


Many successes have been made in the fields directly related to the people's living.


True to the noble intention of the WPK to provide all the schoolchildren in the country with diverse and quality school uniforms on a priority basis, a nationwide plan for cloth production in the first half of the year was carried out at 102 percent amid the dynamic drive for producing cloth for school uniforms.


Officials and workers in the fishery sector across the country carried out their national first half-yearly production plan at 102 percent, bringing about collective innovations.
