Increase in production
Pyongyang, January 21 (KCNA) -- Since the government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea made public a statement on the country's withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Korean workers have stepped up production and construction, determined to win the final victory in confrontation with the U.S. imperialists.

In recent days they have fulfilled at 105 percent their daily quotas much higher than those in the same period of last year.
The mine's production of non-ferrous metallic minerals has reached a record high
in the last ten years.
The June 4 rolling-stock factory has topped its daily assignments of freight car production and repair.
