North Korea has officially opened a new town its media is calling the "epitome of modern civilisation", BBC reports.

Leader Kim Jong-un cut the red ribbon at Samjiyon - hailed as one of the country's most important construction projects.

State media KCNA said the town - which is able to accommodate 4,000 families - boasts new apartments, a ski slope, and a stadium amongst other facilities.

The town - even if it lives up to state media billing - will be an outlier in North Korea, where the majority of people live in poor conditions.
