Jan. 14, 2020
Kim Jong Un completes his first site visit of 2020 – a trip to the under-construction Sunchon Phosphatic Fertilizer Factory.
Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), North Korea’s state media, reports that leader Kim Jong Un made his first economic site visit of the new year – a trip to the under-construction Sunchon Phosphatic Fertilizer Factory, according to an article from NK News. Kim reportedly used the visit to the large, state-led construction project, which began in 2016, to tout the chemical industry.
The project remains unfinished with no deadline specified for its completion, according to the article. Nonetheless, construction of the plant reportedly remains of “important significance” to Kim, with the leader promising it “persistent” support and funding. NK News reports that Kim also used the site visit to decry ongoing sanctions and “the adverse wind raised by the hostile forces.”
