N. Korean leader heading northwest from Nanjing
(ATTN: RECASTS with Kim's departure from Nanjing; CHANGES headline)
BEIJING/YANGZHOU/SHANGHAI, May 24 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il departed the eastern city of Nanjing on Tuesday by train after touring a top electronics company on a trip in which he apparently hopes to learn about China's vibrant economy.
Kim appears to be heading toward China's northwest, though his next destination remains unclear.
Earlier on Tuesday, he arrived in Nanjing in a convoy of some 40 cars with an armed police escort from Yangzhou and visited Nanjing Panda Electronics Co., which makes mobile phones, television sets and other electronics goods.
Kim has made his third trip to China, the North's last remaining ally and benefactor, in just over a year at Beijing's invitation to learn about China's economic reforms to help revive the North's faltering economy.
