State Affairs Commission Vice Chairman and DPRK Premier Pak Pong Ju (Pak Pong-chu) visited the Hwanghae Iron and Steel Complex “alive with the drive for increasing the production of iron and steel”. He learned about the “processes for putting the production on a Chuch’e” for the Youth Looping Shop, Gas Production Shop, Steel Shop and other places within the complex and had a consultative meeting. The meeting consisted of discussing “the issues of generating successes and experience gained by the complex in putting production processes on a Chuch’e basis” while “producing diverse steel bars for the sites recovering from flood damage in the northern part of the country.” They also took measures for “putting production on a normal track and increasing varieties of steel,” which means “sufficiently supplying electricity, coal and iron ore.” Prior to this on-site visit, Pak visited the Institute of Pomiculture of the Academy of Agricultural Science and discussed remodeling the institute.Filed under: Central Committee, Central Military Committee, DPRK Cabinet, DPRK Disaster Relief, DPRK Premier, Economic Complexes, Korean Workers' Party (KWP), KPA General Political Bureau, Ministry of Metal Industry, North Hwanghae Provincial KWP Committee, North Hwanghae Provincial People's Committee, Pak Pong Ju, Party elders, Political Bureau
