Kim Jong Un Visits Tree Nursery of KPA

Pyongyang, May 16 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, supreme leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, provided field guidance to the Tree Nursery No. 122 of the Korean People's Army successfully built as a gift to the Seventh Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea. He went round various places of the tree nursery. He was very satisfied over the fact that a combined control system has been successfully built at the nursery to ensure the most suitable conditions and environment for cultivating tree saplings. He said that sapling greenhouses have been built in a modern way to optimize the conditions for the growth of saplings by introducing cutting-edge technology and it is possible to produce saplings twice for a year by realizing the automation and mechanization of work in the greenhouses on a high level. Modern irrigation facilities and sunshade apparatuses have been installed at the cultivation grounds for acclimatizing saplings grown on the round cuttings grounds and greenhouses to outdoor environment and at the districts for cultivating potted saplings, he said, noting they look attractive. He said that all production processes ranging from the seed selection to sowing and sapling packing have been highly automated and streamlined and there are adequate stroma production processes and facilities for storing saplings. The yearly sapling production at the tree nursery is more than 20 million and if all provinces build such land-saving and manpower-saving tree nurseries as this nursery, they will be able to produce 0.2 billion saplings a year, he said with satisfaction. He called upon the chairmen of the provincial party committees and officials concerned to visit the tree nursery. He expressed belief that the officials and employees of the Tree Nursery No. 122 of the KPA would manage and operate the nursery in a responsible manner and thus creditably discharge their mission and duty in turning all mountains of the country into mountains of gold and treasures. -0-
