S. Pyongan Province mines mobilized to transport coal to Nampo port
Mines in the Sunchon and Pukchang districts of South Pyongan Province were recently ordered by the Ministry of External Economic Relations to transport coal to Nampo port for export, Daily NK has learned.
A source in South Pyongan Province told Daily NK on Thursday that mine workers in Sunchon and Pukchang waged a “hasty production struggle” for five days after the Ministry of External Economic Relations — North Korea’s trade ministry — issued a surprise order to mines in the two districts on Nov. 11.
“Trade officials from the Ministry of External Economic Relations went directly to the production sites to learn the coal supply situation and are working with the sales departments to turn the heat up on coal transportation,” he said. .......
