[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Ministry of Unification stated that the site of the terraced housing complex along the Pyongyang Botonggang Riverside, inspected by Kim Jong-un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, is an area densely packed with key facilities such as the Workers' Party Headquarters and the Mansudae Assembly Hall.

A Ministry of Unification official told reporters on the 1st, "The area around the site is densely populated with major party-related facilities including the Workers' Party Headquarters, Mansudae Assembly Hall, People's Palace of Culture, and official residences," confirming this information.

On the same day, the Korean Central News Agency reported that General Secretary Kim inspected the construction site of the terraced housing complex along the Botonggang Riverside.

Kim also led party and government officials to inspect the planned housing complex site on the 25th of last month.

The Ministry of Unification said, "North Korean media referred to the construction site of the riverside terraced housing complex as a 'prime location along the Botonggang Riverside' and described it as 'a modern terraced housing complex formed along the scenic Botonggang riverside,'" adding, "Based on the published photos, the site appears to be a triangular area located to the right when looking at the Botongmun Gate facing the Botonggang River."
