North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has visited a newly built mushroom farm in Pyongyang, along with his aides and younger sister, Kim Yo-jung, the North's official media said Saturday.

Kim was accompanied by his younger sister, who holds the post of vice department director of the Workers' Party central committee; Hwang Pyong-so, director of the Korean People's Army general political bureau; Han Kwang-sang, department director of the party central committee; and Ri Jae-il, first vice department director of the party central committee.

The visit was reported by the (North) Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), but the news agency did not reveal the exact date of it.

Kim showed "great satisfaction" with the construction of the farm, which is the first implementation of the party's policy to build modern mushroom farms across the country, the KCNA said. (Yonhap)
