North Korea extends Wonsan-Kalma construction deadline to April 2020: KCNA

Project now set to be wrapped up in time for next year's Day of the Sun holiday

The landmark tourism-linked construction project was originally set to be completed in time for this year's April 15 Day of the Sun celebrations, a national holiday marking the anniversary of the country's founding President Kim Il Sung.
