Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- The non-permanent central committee for promoting regional development 20×10 policy has officially started its work amid the brisk organizational work for thoroughly and perfectly carrying out the innovative strategy for the development of regional industry which was confirmed and clarified at the historic 19th Enlarged Meeting of the Political Bureau of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).

Jo Yong Won, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau and secretary for Organizational Affairs of the WPK Central Committee, bears responsibility for the work of the non-permanent central committee and guides it, according to the resolution of the enlarged meeting.

The committee is comprised of Pak Jong Gun, vice-premier of the Cabinet and chairman of the State Planning Commission, Jon Hyon Chol, secretary of the WPK Central Committee, Ri Hi Yong, first vice director of the Organizational Leadership Department of the WPK Central Committee, and other senior officials of the WPK Central Committee, senior officials of ministries and national institutions.

The committee will control and guide in a unified way the work for promoting the projects including designing and building of regional industrial factories to be newly built according to the Party Central Committee's policy for regional development and the work for creating raw material bases.

Taking into consideration the population, natural and geographical conditions and other aspects of cities and counties, practical measures are being explored to rationally and effectively fix the scales and production capacities of factories and give precedence to the designing of factories to be built every year in a long-term and planned way on the principle of saving manpower, building site and energy and intensifying technology. And the ways are being found to organize construction force, supply materials and equipments and build factories in a development-oriented and modern way in keeping with the trend of development of the food industry and light industry.

It is one of the important duties of the central committee to take practical measures for ensuring that regional industrial factories put their production on a normal track by building up regional raw material bases.

All the members of the committee are filled with the iron will to dynamically lead the successful implementation of the Party's policy for the development of regional industry, bearing in mind that the success of the great revolution determined by the Party Central Committee is decisively guaranteed by how they give the political and policy guidance. -0-
