N. Korean leader stresses self-supporting economy

  
SEOUL, Oct. 1 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il recently inspected production facilities for food and other daily goods in Pyongyang, lauding workers for making progress in building the "nation's self-supporting economy," the North's media reported Thursday.

Kim gave field guidance to workers at the Pyongyang Catfish Farm and praised them for bringing about "unprecedented innovations" in fish farming in recent years, the North's Korean Central News Agency said.

Kim was accompanied by Kim Ki-nam, a secretary of the Workers' Party's central committee, and other senior party officials, according to the agency. The report did not say when the visit was made.
