[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kim Jong-un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, has resumed public activities after about a month by conducting on-site guidance at the Samjiyon City construction site.

The Korean Central News Agency reported on the 16th that General Secretary Kim "visited Samjiyon City for on-site guidance to understand the status of the third phase of construction related to the completion of the Samjiyon City construction project."

This is the first time in 35 days since his speech at the Defense Development Exhibition on the 12th of last month that North Korea's state media has reported on General Secretary Kim's public activities. During this period, there had been speculation that he was focusing on internal affairs as his public appearances had not been reported for nearly a month.

According to the news agency, General Secretary Kim inspected the houses, educational facilities, and cultural welfare facilities under construction and also gave instructions regarding urban management conditions and agricultural status.
