Foreign Diplomats Visit Duck Farm Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- Diplomatic envoys of various countries and representatives of international organizations here visited the Ryongji Duck Farm Wednesday. They looked round with keen interest the production processes equipped with modern facilities, being briefed on the fact that servicemen of the Korean People's Army built the modern duck farm in a short span of time. At the end of the visit Chinese Charge d' Affaires a.i. Guan Huabing said that the Ryongji Duck Farm has been built into a modern farm under the care of leader Kim Jong Il. Mongolian Ambassador Janchivdorjyn Lombo made the following entry in the visitor's book: The farm will play an important role in improving the standard of people's diet. Russian Ambassador Andrei Karlov wrote in the book that the visit to the farm helped him know well about what great attention the DPRK government has paid to solving the problem of the people's diet, hoping that the Korean people would register bigger success in their efforts to build a great prosperous powerful nation under the wise guidance of Kim Jong Il.

I have heard that dog is considered a delicacy in North Korea.

Having duck as a main course makes a nice change from tree bark.
Russian Ambassador Andrei Karlov wrote in the book that the visit to the farm helped him know well about what great attention the DPRK government has paid to solving the problem of the people's diet, hoping that the Korean people would register bigger success in their efforts to build a great prosperous powerful nation under the wise guidance of Kim Jong Il.Was the Russian ambassador having a little fun with parody there, using it to sneak in a reference to the "problem of the people's diet"?
