Pyongyang, September 24 (KCNA) -- Amid a campaign for improving the socialist service culture, many leisure facilities have been remodeled across the DPRK as part of the efforts for implementing the policy of the Workers' Party of Korea to provide the people with highly civilized living conditions and environment.

Officials of the Ministry of Commerce and power organs in different parts of the country provided proper guidance on the work for modernizing the service environment and conditions of leisure facilities under a good plan.
