This year is the first one for the implementation of Regional Development 20x10 Policy set forth by the Workers’ Party of Korea.

Now, true to the WPK’s idea that the development of regional industry means that of the regions and regional development leads to the comprehensive rejuvenation and growth of the nation, projects are well under way across the DPRK to newly build regional-industry factories in cities and counties on a higher level than those in Kimhwa County of Kangwon Province within ten years.

Until three years ago there were more people who did not know about Kimhwa County, which ranked the lowest among cities and counties of the country because of its difficult living conditions and poor economic foundation.

Today, however, the county has become a symbol of the regional industrial revolution and model to be followed by all other cities and counties.
