Pyongyang, October 21 (KCNA) -- The newly built Wonsanman Saltern situated in Yomjon-ri, Chonnae County, Kangwon Province of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, is meeting the demand of the province for salt from this year. The province had to bring salt from western coastal areas so far. True to the behest of President Kim Il Sung and intention of leader Kim Jong Il on building a saltern in the eastern coastal area to solve the salt issue there, people of the province started the construction of the saltern in reed fields in March Juche 87 (1998).
They had never suspended the huge project of three stages even in difficult conditions and thus succeeded in building salt fields covering hundreds of hectares.
The saltern, which has already overfulfiled this year's production plan, also produces refined salt.
Kim Jong Il, who called at the saltern on a sultry day of July this year, was very satisfied with the grand industrial construction carried out by the province for the people and clearly indicated the ways for increasing salt production.
