He urged workers to keep up production, to hit new targets set at a recent party Congress. State media reported the trip on Monday. The 9th Congress of the Workers' Party wrapped up late last month after a full week of meetings. Kim stressed pushing forward big construction projects there. One key focus was the Ha Sung District in Pyongyang. Kim said these builds are vital for boosting the country's overall strength. He praised the factory team for ramping up output.
