PYONGYANG – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected a greenhouse farm construction site along the country’s border with China on Jan 2, and encouraged youth and troops working on the construction in the new year, state media KCNA said on Jan 3.
In recent weeks, Mr Kim has made a series of visits to various military and economic facilities to confirm their progress ahead of the key Ninth Party Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea, expected to convene in early 2026 to set out major policy goals.
“I wanted to spend the beginning of 2026 with my comrades who are greeting the new year at the north-west tip of our country,” Mr Kim said, lauding the workers’ efforts.
