Regional products popular in capital
While hosting the current light industry goods exhibition Development of Light Industry-2025, I have experienced once again the development of the country’s light industry which has been transformed and is making rapid progress.
Citizens’ interest in and demand for goods from regional-industry factories are great.
A resident, who recently moved to Pyongyang from a region, lavished praise on a product from the region, boasting it to people around him, as if it was a matter for congratulation that happened to his family.
Everyone said in unison that the packaging of foodstuffs is hardly different from that of those produced by centrally-run factories and that now regional products can match those of famous factories in Pyongyang.
Seeing regional products popular in the capital city, I once again became convinced of the validity of the Regional Development 20x10 Policy of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

Growing pride
After looking round our booth, visitors said that the quality of our factory’s garments has improved much though it has been merely six months since the Spring Clothes Show-2025 held in April.
This time the factory has presented products of nearly three times as many varieties as the last exhibition.
In particular, new padded clothes for men were popular as they were made with new waterproof materials to better their heat insulation and designed to be worn as coats or padded clothes according to weather conditions.
We take great pride in producing popular clothes to make people’s life comfortable.
