Kimmie conducts about 200 field guidance tours this year
2009-12-27
SEOUL, Dec. 26 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il conducted about 200 field guidance tours of local farms and military camps this year, the communist nation's state media said Saturday, marking the highest number of public appearances he has made since coming to power.

Kim "conducted field guidance at as many as 200 places across the country," reported the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
It's a wonder anyone ever gets any work done ...
"It was a hard work unprecedented in the history and a partisan long march," the KCNA said, adding that the increased appearances indicated that Kim strove to solve issues pertaining to the people's livelihoods.

The South Korean Unification Ministry said earlier in the month that the North Korean leader made 156 such trips as of Dec. 18, based on the North's media reports. The figure is the highest since Kim took over leadership in 1998 from his late father, Kim Il-sung, and almost double his 90 public activities of last year, the ministry said.

The communist leader usually gibbers gives field guidance at factories, farms and military camps to highlight his leadership and policies.
