One day in January 2016, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the Pyongyang Kim Jong Suk Textile Mill.
The mill was manufacturing various satchels for students with canvas produced by it. Kim Jong Un watched the satchels and then the bag canvas production line.
When he looked closely at various kinds of quality bag canvas streaming out of the line, officials told him that all the equipment of the production line had been made by domestic efforts and technology.
Very satisfied, he said to them: It is wonderful to build a modern bag canvas production base furnished with domestically-made equipment at the mill; I feel buoyant as I visualize children who are going to and from school with domestically-produced splendid satchels on their backs.
Repeatedly saying that he felt much encouraged to see the factory running at full capacity, he continued that the dynamic sound of normal production, the sound of self-reliance, resounding in the factory was a signal of victory in the revolution that would instil confidence and optimism in sure victory into the Korean people who would enjoy all the benefits of the world before long.
