North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited a new city being built near the border with China and a sacred mountain revered by his family, state media reported on Tuesday, in his first public appearance in more than a month.

Kim said building the new city provided experience in construction, design and technologies that would boost economic growth for other regions.
