Pyongyang, April 18 (KCNA) -- In Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK, there is a modern factory specializing in producing notebooks for children and students from kindergartens to universities across the country.

It is the Mindulle Notebook Factory known as a treasure factory throughout the country.

The factory has increased its annual production capacity from 50 million volumes in the early days of its operation to 150 million volumes. It produces various kinds of books including notebooks according to subjects, homework notebooks, diary books and parent-contact memo-books.

As there are scenes of Korean cartoons suited to children's mind and interesting puzzles in the covers of notebooks, all children and students like to use the notebooks.

The Mindulle Notebook Factory was built on the direct initiative and under the meticulous guidance of the respected Comrade General Secretary Kim Jong Un .

The General Secretary gave instructions on building the factory and guided its layout. He visited the newly-built factory on April 18, 2016.

Going round various places of the factory, he acquainted himself in detail with its production and stressed the need to produce more quality notebooks.

The employees of the factory, conscious of the noble intention that it is the consistent and eternal policy of the Workers' Party of Korea and the state to provide the schoolchildren with essential goods in a responsible manner, have striven to turn out various kinds of high-quality notebooks conducive to improving the intellectual ability of children and students.

In those days, various kinds of notebooks were awarded the December 15 Quality Medal and registered as February 2 Goods.

Last year, the factory created new designs for the cover of notebooks according to schools and developed new popular products such as foreign language writing notebooks and handwriting exercise notebooks for kindergarteners and primary school pupils. -0-
