SEOUL: The place North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited may be just as significant as showing his face in public after a three-week absence that raised questions about his health and control of the nuclear-armed state.

State media on Saturday (May 2) said Kim celebrated the completion of the Sunchon Phosphatic Fertiliser Factory north of Pyongyang, the capital.
