Regarding the coal industry, we will concentrate on developing new coal resources and introduce advanced coal-mining methods. We will also improve steel-producing and rolling systems at the Chollima Steel Complex by introducing most advanced steel manufacturing facilities. In the railway transport section, we plan to repair and maintain facilities and produce and introduce new-model electric locomotives and freight trains to improve our transport capacity. On Light Industry We intend to increase the production of primary consumer goods and basic foods, which are the necessities of the people s daily life. The primary consumer goods are the daily necessities, such as cloth, underwear, towels, shoes, soaps, dentifrice, and kitchen utensils.
Basic foods are soy sauce, bean paste, cooking oil, chemical seasoning, and so on.
As for the production of the daily necessities, we will maintain light industrial factories and complexes for the purpose of enabling them to specialize its production of goods and to advance technical innovations. We started to operate the Sinuiju Cosmetics Factory with a newly introduced manufacturing system. High quality soap, dentifrice and cosmetics will be produced in the factory and the goods made in the factory will have a big share in the production of these goods. We plan to modernize all other food-processing factories in the country after these models. What we plan to do does not follow old methods, but is based on complete technological renewal.
