Kim Jong Un, leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), recently inspected fishing and livestock farms in the DPRK's northwestern region, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Monday.

Kim, who is putting more emphasis on economic development after announcing the suspension of nuclear and missile tests in April, made "field guidance" trips to the Station for Stocking Lake Yonphung with Fishes and the Ungok Area General Stock Farm, according to the KCNA.

"He stressed the need for the station to massively raise mandarin fishes and other young fishes and put them into Lake Yonphung," the KCNA reported.

During his inspection at the livestock farm, the DPRK leader underscored the "need to intensify the research work to prevent degeneration of the breeds of the domestic animals."

Last month Kim toured several industrial sites, including a potato farina production factory and the construction site of a hydropower plant, where he lashed out at officials over a delay in completing the project.

Pyongyang's recent focus on economic development comes amid a thaw in tensions on the Korean Peninsula since the beginning of the year. Kim and Republic of Korea (ROK) President Moon Jae-in met twice (on April 27 and May 26) in the border village of Panmunjom. And arrangements for their third summit tops the agenda for the high-level talks between delegations from the two countries on Monday.
