In a possible signal of what to expect at a key meeting of North Korea's rubber-stamp parliament later this week, state media reported Monday on leader Kim Jong Un's visit to a recently remodeled, modern-looking department store.

The report was the fourth of a Kim visit to an economic-related project in five days.

The state-run Korean Central News Agency said Kim "provided field guidance" at the Taesong Department Store in Pyongyang just ahead of its opening.
