Thanks to the ardent desire of the Central Committee of the great Workers’ Party of Korea, stirring events demonstrating the steady transformative progress in socialist Korea take place one after another in its different parts. Against this backdrop, regional-industry factories were inaugurated in Hwangju County, North Hwanghae Province.

He said that the modern regional-industry factories are a precious fruition of the original ideas and devotion of Kim Jong Un who ushers in an era of epochal transformation to provide the regional people with a new, happy life through his profound thought and energetic leadership with his ardent love for the people.

Jo Yong Won and Ri Il Hwan, secretaries of the Central Committee of the WPK, and No Kwang Chol, minister of National Defence of the DPRK, cut the inauguration tape.

Fireworks were set off and a large number of balloons rose up over the venue of the inauguration ceremony to beautifully decorate the sky of December.

After the inauguration ceremony, leading officials of the Party, government and armed forces organs went round the regional-industry factories together with other participants.

People in the county were delighted to see various kinds of condiments, confectionery, daily necessities and clothes produced at the modern regional-industry factories with their county trademarks of “Kindungpol” and “Hwangjuchon.”

Thak Chol Hyok, chairman of the Hwangju County People’s Committee, said that the precious creations and valuable wealth representing the new era of regional change have been built in his county, extending thanks to Kim Jong Un for providing without fail the inauguration season of the wonderful factories in which all the regional people are waiting for and welcoming every year.

He said that he would ensure the county's demand is satisfied by normalizing production, put efforts into developing and producing more specialities favoured by the people, regarding it as the lifeline to improve quality, and thus fulfil his responsibility and duty to ensure that the modern regional-industry factories would serve as a strong buttress and fruitful asset for improving the people’s standard of living.

The local residents expressed their great delight, saying that seeing on newspapers and TV screens people in other regions who were happy to purchase goods produced at the newly-built regional-industry factories, they envied them, but that such factories have been built in their region, too.
