North Korea says Kim Jong Un inspected a new weapons factory. North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency did not disclose the location of the factory Kim visited Sunday. Both China and North Korea confirmed last week that Kim will make his first visit to China in six years. Kim prioritizes Moscow as part of a foreign policy aimed at expanding ties with nations confronting the United States. Some experts say Kim’s presence at the multilateral event in Beijing is part of efforts to develop partnerships with other nations close to China and Russia. China remains North Korea’s largest trade partner and economic lifeline. South Korea has suspended a military-run radio broadcast into North Korea.
