Kim Jong-il inspects Jagang Province
Scrounging for cognac?
SEOUL, July 31 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il inspected industrial facilities in the northwestern province of Jagang that borders China, the North's media said Saturday. The visit, reported by the Korean Central News Agency, came three days after the 68-year-old leader attended a concert.

The KCNA, as usual, provided no other details, including the date of the trip but released a photo of the leader during his visit to the industrial facilities.

Kim was accompanied by Park To-chun, chief secretary of the Jagang Provincial Committee and the leader's brother in-law-law, Jang Song-thaek. Also among the leader's entourage was his younger sister and Jang's wife, Kim Kyong-hui, the report said.
