NORTH Korea broadcast a video of leader Kim Jong Il attending a massive rally marking the reopening of a textile factory, a move seen as aimed at demonstrating his commitment to reviving the country's economy.
Kim, believed to have recovered from a stroke in 2008, is often shown in state-distributed photos visiting army units and farms and watching concerts, but has rarely appeared in videos.
In the video shown on state television on Saturday, Kim clapped his hands and waved to a crowd packing a plaza in the eastern coastal city of Hamhung.
The rally on Saturday marked the completion of a factory producing a North Korean-invented synthetic textile called "vinalon," state TV said.
The textile factory, established in 1961, reportedly shut amid worsening economic difficulties in the mid-1990s.
