Pyongyang, January 20 (KCNA) -- Different kinds of sports shoes produced by the Ryuwon Footwear Factory in the DPRK are popular among youth and children, working people and sportspersons.

Those shoes won a high appreciation at recent exhibitions for their lightness, elasticity and good quality.

The Ryuwon-branded shoes are associated with the devoted efforts of the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un who has worked heart and soul to provide the people with more quality consumer goods.

One day in January Juche 104 (2015), Kim Jong Un visited the Ryuwon Footwear Factory.

Highly appreciating that the factory made lots of successes in implementing the Party's policy on producing diversified and multicolored footwear, he stressed that to fully supply quality consumer goods is not merely an economic and practical work but an important issue for valuing and defending our own things and demonstrating the advantages of our social system.

He said that factories and enterprises in the field of light industry should not confine themselves to making prototypes or samples for display at shops but put the production on a normal footing and steadily improve the quality of products so that the people can benefit from them.

Later, under his guidance the factory turned into a modern footwear producer with a large capacity and has produced sports shoes of various kinds every year.

Now, its officials and employees are filled with determination to produce more quality and smart shoes so that the people can benefit from them and thus devotedly carry out the tasks set forth at the Sixth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea. -0-
