Meanwhile, North Korea received a delegation of foreign journalists visiting a typical farm in the capital of Pyongyang on May 4.According to a CBS News reporter, they visited a farm that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un came to inspect last year, where he directed the production activities to be widely published.

Jangchon is one of the typical Korean farms, located in Sadong district, the capital of Pyongyang.This is one of the few farming areas equipped with a large greenhouse system with solar panels, which allows year-round food production.This is the living and working place of about 3,000 Korean farmers.However, very few of the 24 million Koreans enjoy this life.

Answering the Western press, Hong Son Suk, one of Jangchon's employees, said: "We live very happily under the warm love and care of respectable leaders. The content hung on the wall helps us always feel the presence of our beloved leaders ".

Kim Hak Bao, a farmer working in the greenhouse, stressed: "Food crops are the top priority of Korea. The hostile countries like the US and Japan think not well about our country and We have to be self-sufficient in terms of food to ensure life. "Photo: Washington Post
