Pyongyang: Given the foolishness of the United States to deny the relief of sanctions intensified since late 2017 that affect the economy and the people, North Korea today stimulates its tourism development based on the Juche ideology of self-sufficiency, Prensa Latina reports.

The above is reflected in the current journey made by the chairman of the State Committee of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Kim Jon Un, by priority areas of economic development in the country.

Among the places visited this day by the Korean statesman are the area of ​​the thermal source of the Yangdok district, province of Pyongyang of the South, and the area of ​​the rising coastal tourist pole of the Wonsan-Kalma strip, in the so-called Bay of East Korea, east of Pyongyang.                             

In Yangdok, at the foothills of the historic Grand Mount Paektu, he instructed building implementers, the Korean People's Army (EPC), to accelerate the construction of a sanatorium, a nursing home, hotels, and public service, administrative infrastructure and housing to exploit them for the benefit of local and international tourism, and provide resources to the nation.

He indicated to take advantage of the singularities of the intra mountain place and also erect a ski field there so that visitors can ski during their holidays and then bath in the thermo medicinal waters.

All guidance given in Yangdok by the also Supreme Commander of the EPC to the military builders should be fulfilled before the winter that begins here in late November 2019, said the Central News Agency of Korea (ACNC).

Kim Jon Un in his visit to Wonsan-Kalma demanded to conclude with maximum quality the construction of all the tourist infrastructure of that site for April 15, 2020, anniversary 108 of the birthday of Kim Il Sung.

He called for converting the Wonsan-Kalma strip into a place of cultural rest for the people, and a popular maritime park, a world reference.

The president of the Workers' Party of Korea (PTC) recalled that the main political organization of the DPRK has made a very important investment of funds (did not reveal how much) to raise the coastal tourist area Wonsan-Kalma, so each work must have the maximum level of quality.

In that sense he asked for extreme quality in the floating pier, the lighting decoration and the signs of the buildings, and in the completion of each of the buildings, streets, avenues and pedestrian and bicycle routes.

He said that in order to take care of the environment of this strip, cars moved by batteries will circulate there.

Kim previously visited Samiyon County, in the extreme north of the country, near the border with Russia, and inspected a newly-built potato flour factory, a plant that will produce several blueberry drinks.

An economic zone of national reference is erected In Samiyon to considerably improve the life of the rural population of these mountains, according to ACNC.

At the end of last February during the DPRK-US Summit held in Hanoi, Vietnam, Kim asked US President Donald Trump for relief from sanctions for the benefit of the economy and the North Korean people.

On the occasion, the president of the PTC argued that his country had more than 15 months without conducting nuclear tests and the sanctioning text of the UN that stimulated the United States against North Korea, referred to this possibility of flexibility if the DPRK stopped or canceled its nuclear tests.

However, the US president refused to comply with the request, in what was considered here as an act of foolishness and political and human arrogance.
