Rodong Sinmun on Regional Development 20×10 Policy

Pyongyang, February 11 (KCNA) -- The Regional Development 20×10 Policy now being dynamically promoted across the country is the most revolutionary, popular and scientific policy that makes it possible to achieve the overall development of socialism and improve the people's living standard in a multi-stage, three-dimensional and offensive way, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in an article.

The article goes on:

The Regional Development 20×10 Policy is the most revolutionary one that enables the DPRK to carry out the vast and historic task of regional development in the earliest possible period in conformity with the requirements of the overall development period of socialism.

The struggle to transform regional-industry factories across the country for ten years is a great cause which can never be achieved without bold courage and stubborn practical ability.

The Regional Development 20×10 Policy is the most popular one that accurately reflects the actual requirements for promptly overcoming the differences in the living standards of the capital and the regions and the disparities between the regions and for bringing a clear change in the people's living standards in the whole areas.

It is the immutable principle of the Workers' Party of Korea that geographical environment, resources, economic potentials and living environment may differ from each region, but there should never be a backward area in the people's living in the areas of the DPRK.

The Regional Development 20×10 Policy is the most scientific one in which the possibility for realizing the policy, including manpower, materials, and funds, is firmly guaranteed on the basis of the setting of experimental stage.

Our Party's policy of regional development on developing the regional economy to turn all the areas of the country into developed areas with their inherent characteristics is fully guaranteed by the possibility of its realization.

The Party's Regional Development 20×10 Policy is a strategic great programme for the development of regional industry that the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un solemnly declared it as a state policy on the basis of personally formulating the policy orientation for improving the living of regional people and of confirming in all aspects even the possibility of its realization through the stage of experience accumulation.

The victory of the Regional Development 20×10 Policy of our Party is certain as it is led by Kim Jong Un. -0-
