In his speech made at the inauguration ceremony of regional-industry factories built in Songchon County under Regional Development 20×10 Policy, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said that the Workers’ Party of Korea’s original intention in transforming regions materially and culturally is to shore up, first and foremost, the cities and counties which are located in out-of-the-way mountains and where the locals’ living standards are among the lowest.
Kim Jong Un also said that just as good, nourishing food is given first to the weakest child in a family, assistance and benefits should be rendered primarily to the locals in difficult areas.
Kim Jong Un said that modern regional-industry factories and cultural and public health facilities should be built in the country’s most backward and infertile regions before any others; if these regions are short of raw materials and have unfavourable conditions for business operation, the state should increase its assistance to them.
