North Korea's leader visited a fishery base under a unit of the country's military, encouraging workers to bring in a big haul to supply fish to servicemen, Pyongyang's state media said Wednesday.
  

North's young leader Kim Jong-un toured the fishing station under the Korean People's Army  Unit 549, the Korean Central News Agency said without elaborating on the date of his inspection.
  

The KCNA said that Kim urged the base to "set a high goal for remarkably increasing the yearly output of fish in a short span of time on the basis of this year's achievement."
  

The North's leader recently visited another fishery base under the KPA, expressing satisfaction over unprecedented achievements in fishing.
  

Analysts said that Kim's visits to fishery bases may be linked to his desire to make achievements on the economic front ahead of the ruling party's congress for May.
  

The North's ruling Workers' Party plans to convene a congress for the first time in more than three decades in early May, where the North is likely to unveil new policies. (Yonhap)
