Pyongyang, November 11 (KCNA) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has changed its appearance with the knowledge-based economy.

Many modern industrial establishments, including the Huichon Ryonha General Machine Plant, Taedonggang Combined Fruit Farm, Taedonggang Tile Factory and Tudan Duck Farm, have appeared throughout the country.

With all their production processes streamlined, their employees work in clean and noiseless conditions.

In recent years, the country has made a great progress in developing the knowledge-based economy and putting economic activities on an intellectual basis.

The workers of Jagang Province are taking the lead in modernizing industrial establishments.

The Huichon Ryonha General Machine Plant has built a large-scale machine tool production base.

The plant produces up-to-date equipment and materials needed for the development of the economy and improvement of the people's living standard, greatly contributing to the prosperity of the country.

The mental power displayed by the plant's workers in developing high-tech machines is a result of Kim Jong Il's leadership.
