I made a report, "The Results of Cde. N. S. Khrushchev's Visit to Countries of Southeast Asia", in the Pyongyang Steam Locomotive Car Repair Plant. Senior and other Ministry officials were present at the report, a total of up to 900 people. The report was heard with great attention.

 

In a conversation held with plant director Hwang Ha-sun [sic], he said that this year the plant will start up the production of an electric locomotive. Starting in 1961 the plan will specialize in the production of up to 30 electric locomotives a year and passenger cars. Under the Japanese 19 steam locomotives were repaired. This year 210 steam locomotives, 1800 freight cars, and 120 passenger cars were repaired. When this was being done a commitment was given to repair 500 freight cars over plan before 15 August.
