North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has visited a locomotive factory and called on North Koreans to step up self-reliance amid mounting international sanctions.
 |
| North Korea's state news agency (KCNA) reported today, November 15, that leader Kim Jong-un inspected the Kumsong factory specializing in producing locomotives and emphasized the importance of production activities based on the spirit of self-reliance. |
 |
| Kim Jong-un said that North Korea's locomotives are made mostly from domestic parts and expressed pride in the country's ability to develop itself in the face of international sanctions. |
 |
| “These are not just means of transportation, but also steel horses of the spirit of self-reliance, opening up the way for economic development. The workers at the factory have dealt a fatal blow to the enemies who are frantically suffocating us,” Mr. Kim Jong-un said at the Kumsong factory. |
 |
| According to Yonhap, the North Korean leader's personal visits to businesses in recent weeks are part of an effort to demonstrate to the international community that the North Korean economy is not affected by sanctions. |
 |
| Previously, on November 4, Mr. Kim Jong-un also visited a truck factory and called for the development of the North Korean automobile industry on par with the world. |
 |
| In October, KCNA reported that leader Kim Jong-un and his wife Ri Sol Ju visited the Ryuwon Shoe Factory in the capital Pyongyang. |
 |
| Leader Kim Jong-un and his wife also visited a North Korean cosmetics factory in late October. |
