Kim Jong-un: North Korea leader 'appears in public'

(BBC) North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has made his first public appearance since 3 September, the country's official news agency says.


The KCNA agency said on Tuesday that Mr Kim "gave field guidance" at a newly built scientists' residential district.

Rodong Sinmun daily newspaper carried several photographs of Mr Kim using a walking stick as he inspected the site.

The absence of the 32-year-old leader has prompted a flurry of speculation about his health.

Some have even questioned if he remains in control of the secretive communist state.

Official media have cited unspecified personal "discomfort" as grounds for Mr Kim's absence from public view.

On Sunday, North Korea's ambassador to London told the BBC that Mr Kim was in good health.

KCNA said that Mr Kim was briefed on the Wisong Scientists Residential District "before a map showing its bird's-eye view" and that he then "overlooked it".

" Kim Jong-un has made his first public appearance since 3 September, the country's official news agency says."

So says the official news agency.

Mind you, photos of him with a walking stick indicate that indeed he did appear.

The Chinese used to publish (doctored) photos of Mao Zedong swimming in the Yangze annually to assure the masses that he was well even if he never got anywhere near the river.
