Seoul - North Korean leader Kim Jong II attended a large rally marking a reopening of a suspended textile factory, North Korea's state media reported Saturday. In an unusual personal appearance, Kim attended the industry rally, where about 100,000 people gathered and praised Kim for enabling the restart of the factory which produces the polyvinyl alcohol textile. It had closed in 1994.
Textile experts have said that no other country is able to produce this textile made from limestone and anthracite, making this textile factory as a source of North Korean pride, Yonhap news reported.
Meanwhile, North Korean leader Kim Jong II is reportedly planning a visit to China this month. It would be Kim's first trip to China, one of North Korea's only allies, in more than four years and his first overseas visit since his suspected stroke in 2008.
