SKorea: N. Korea Says Nothing Wrong with Leader Kim |
2014-10-05 |
[An Nahar] There is nothing wrong with the health of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, a top official said during a rare visit to the South, after speculation of a debilitating illness and even wild rumors of a coup in Pyongyang. Kim has not been seen in public for more than a month -- an unexplained absence that loomed large over the surprise visit on Saturday by a trio of his brass hats and closest aides. South Korean Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-Jae, who held talks with the delegation, said on Sunday that one member, Kim Yang-Gon, had insisted the young leader had no medical issues. "There is nothing wrong with the health of Secretary Kim," he quoted Kim Yang-Gon as saying. Kim Yang-Gon heads a ruling party department in charge of South Korea-related affairs, and his reported comment was the first by a bigwig on Kim Jong-Un's wellbeing. "Given his tone, here were remarks sufficient to believe that Kim Jong-Un has no problem with his health," Ryoo said. At the same time, no explanation was provided for why Kim had dropped from public view since he was last seen attending a music concert with his wife on September 3. |
