Three pages of Thursday's June 25,2015 ruling Workers' Party official daily newspaper, the Rodong Sinmun, were devoted to images of leader Kim Jong Un and his wife inspecting shops, restaurants and waiting areas in a large, glass-fronted terminal building state media said would open on July 01,2015

Most of the tiny handful of flights to and from the capital ferry tourists and North Koreans on official business between Pyongyang and Beijing. The vast majority of tourists to North Korea are from neighboring China, North Korea's main ally.

The country does not publish tourist numbers, but travel agencies estimate as many as 6,000 westerners visit the country every year

Thursday June 25,2015 also marked 65 years since the start of the 1950-53 Korean War, where a China and Soviet-backed North Korea fought against South Korea and its U.S. and U.N. allies. The two Koreas remain technically in a state of war
