(LEAD) N. Korean leader encourages silk production
(ATTN: UPDATES with another visit to mountain resort at bottom)
SEOUL, Oct. 25 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has ordered greater
production of silk so that all his countrymen can have quality clothing, state
media reported Sunday.
Kim made the remarks during a tour to the Huichon Silk Mill and several other
industrial and educational facilities in the town of Huichon, Jagang Province,
the North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
"The mill should provide silk fabrics works with larger quantity of quality silk
to meet the lifelong desire of President Kim Il-sung, who took much pain to
ensure that all the people wear silks and live on rice and meat soup in
tile-roofed houses," Kim was quoted by the KCNA as saying, referring to one of
the foremost campaigns his father initiated while alive.
Kim also visited the Youth Electric Complex, which produces various electric
goods, and a newly-built library. He watched a performance by the art squad at
the complex and held a photo session with its workers, the report said.
Kim then visited the Huichon University of Technology and stressed the school
should "turn out more technical personnel" to consolidate the nation's economy,
it said.
"The striking changes taking place in Jagang Province are a vivid manifestation
of our people's steadfast will to build a great, prosperous and powerful nation
with our efforts and resources in this land at any cost," Kim said.
Kim was accompanied by Workers' Party Secretary Kim Ki-nam, party department
directors Pak Nam-gi and Jang Song-thaek, first vice department directors of the
party, Ju Kyu-chang, Ri Je-gang and Ri Jae-il as well as provincial officials,
the report said.
In a separate dispatch that came hours later on Sunday, the KCNA reported on
another field guidance trip by Kim. He "expressed great satisfaction" over the
newly-built resort and roads at Mount Myohyang, saying they go well with the
mountain's natural beauty.
Mount Myohyang, which stretches along Huichon and adjacent towns in the Phyongan
provinces, is one of the most famous mountains in North Korea.
Neither dispatch said when Kim made those trips, as is customary of KCNA reports.
