According to the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim visited a dairy farm in North Pyongan Province for its grand opening the previous day and emphasized his development drive for the "rural revolution."
He was quoted as saying that the country's rural areas are "undergoing changes one after another to present a new scenery of civilization all year round."
"The eye-opening transformation in the Samgwang area, clearly showing the rapid development of the socialist countryside, is the proud fruition of the noble devotion of [Kim]," KCNA said, hailing it as a "model of socialist rural construction and development of livestock farming in the new era."
"It is very great for the unknown farm to mass-produce 10-odd kinds of milk products such as butter, cheese, milk powder and yoghurt," Kim said, adding that he "feels great pride to think that such good milk products would be supplied to the children and people."
Kim's frequent on-site inspections since late last year seem intended to highlight his achievements ahead of the country's key party congress expected later this month.
