The Workers' Party of Korea made a resolute revolutionary decision of great regional development and is pushing ahead with its implementation in order to provide the regional people with affluent and civilized living conditions and environment.

Brilliant successes have been achieved in the implementation of the regional development policy since 2024 when the "Regional Development 20×10 Policy" of the Party was enforced.

The 13th Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the WPK said this year's important success is that we achieved proud results in realizing the ideal and well-being of the people and demonstrated to the full the simultaneous development of our state by launching and completing the projects stipulated in more expanded and advanced regional development policy within this year.

In the wake of the successes achieved in 2024, 2025 witnessed the successful construction of the Kangdong County Hospital and Leisure Complex, Kusong City Hospital and Ragwon County Offshore Farm for the "Regional Development 20×10 Policy" and that of regional-industry factories in a number of counties including Jangyon County.

It is the intention of the WPK to keep promoting the regional development with great successes suited to the regional characteristics so that the regional people can get substantial benefits.

The 13th Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Party Central Committee, first of all, emphasized that the provinces, cities and counties should take part in the work for regional development with the attitude of masters.

For the successful implementation of the regional development policy, the WPK took detailed practical measures from the establishment of the work system necessary for dynamically carrying on the construction of regional-industry factories in cities and counties to the provision of fund, labour, cement and steel and transportation of the building materials.

Today when a definite guarantee for the economic development of regions has been provided, the role of regional officials responsible for the economic development of the regions and the improvement of the people's living are further enhanced than ever before.

All the officials in the regions have turned out to bring about regional rejuvenation with the attitude and viewpoint of masters responsible for the present and future of their regions.

The 13th Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Party Central Committee also stressed the need to make many changes suited to the regional characteristics simultaneously.

As every region is different in natural and economic conditions and reality, there can't be a fixed way in its economic development.

It is a consistent policy of the WPK to develop the regional economy by using mountains in the mountainous areas and sea in the coastal areas.

Kangwon Province wonderfully built the Hoeyang Army-People Power Station with its own efforts, providing a great wealth for the economic development of the province and the improvement of the people's livelihood. South Phyongan Province built the Unsan Paper Mill as a model of the country.

Now, the provinces, cities and counties in this country are making the most of the physiographical and economic resources and economic potentials of their regions to develop the regional economy.

It is the intention of the WPK to build all the regional areas into ideal paradises for the people by achieving more great successes suited to the regional characteristics.
