Altered Trademark
Pyongyang, December 29 (KCNA) -- One day in January Juche 94 (2005) leader Kim Jong Il watched products exhibited by the Rakwon Machine Complex.

Looking at a small oxygen separator and soybean oil extractor branded "Wongunho" that means assistance to the army, he asked why they had been given such a trademark.

An official of the complex told him that they had thought it would be good to brand them like that as they had been produced in the Songun era.

He, with a smile in his face, said that the products would be used in not only military but civilian sectors so that they could not be called aid materials. He then said it would be good to brand products in such a way as making their producers conspicuous.

Listening to him, the officials of the complex came to know that he wanted them to make their creation better with a strong sense of responsibility and pride.

Afterward, the products have been re-branded "Rakwon".
