NKorean leader ends media absence
2007-06-04
North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il has reappeared in the reclusive state's media, ending a prolonged absence from the public eye and rumours of failing health, reports said Sunday.

Kim gave an "on-the-spot guidance" -- a trademark field lecture for the benefit of state media -- during a trip to revolutionary sites in the northern city of Kanggye, the North's official Korean Central News Agency said in a story dated June 2 but dispatched Sunday.
I just hope the field lecture wasn't as long as a Castro stem-winder.
The story comes after Kim's month-long disappearance from public view, which prompted reports of a deterioration in his health. A South Korean newspaper said his diabetes and heart disease were worsening. Kim, 65, has reduced his official activities this year. He had not been seen in public since May 5 when he visited a military base.
