He called for taking special measures to attain the textile output goal of the seven-year plan, mass-producing sundry goods and bettering the quality of light industry goods including clothes and footwear.

He also noted foodstuff industry should be extensively developed to process meat, vegetables, fish and fruits well in time.

The President, who set it as the WPK's overriding principle in its activities to steadily improve the people's living standard, wisely steered the efforts for consolidating the production potentials of light industry.
