Kim Jong-un visited typhoon-hit areas in the country’s eastern South Hamkyong Province and presided over a Workers’ Party meeting at the scene to discuss recovery effort.
“Learning about the growth of the crops damaged by typhoon, he called for taking positive agricultural and technological measures for minimizing the reduction of the yield,” it added.
In an open letter sent to party members in Pyongyang, Kim said that about 12,000 elite party members of the capital city will be sent to the two provinces each to help with recovery efforts, according to the KCNA. Typhoon Maysak, the ninth tropical storm of the season, hit North Korea as the country is still reeling from damage caused by another typhoon and heavy downpours which affected its major rice-producing areas in the southwestern province.
