All the working people are now zealous about setting new standards and records.

Modern 10 000 flats have been built in the capital city of Pyongyang each year and modern rural houses and regional-industry factories are being built competitively in local areas amid the implementation of the rural revolution programme in the new era and the Regional Development 20×10 Policy.

A mass technical innovation drive has been conducted fiercely in all economic sectors including metallurgical, chemical and electric-power industries, thus hastening the implementation of national economic plans.

The agricultural sector pushes ahead with the work to readjust and reinforce the irrigation structure of the country by pursuing the agricultural policy of the Workers' Party of Korea and has brought in a bumper harvest in the newly increased area of wheat and barley fields.

Sportspeople have made remarkable successes in international games including women's football and weightlifting, exalting the honour of the country.

The constantly updated standards and records in every sector and region are associated with the Korean people’s patriotic mind to bring earlier national prosperity.
