North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reappears after long absence
Source: Sydney Morning Herald
Seoul:North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited a residential district and a scientific establishment, state media has reported, ending a lengthy absence from public view that had fuelled speculation over his health and grip on power in the secretive country.
The report in the official KCNA news agency did not mention the 31-year-old Kim's prolonged absence from public view.
He had not appeared in public since attending a concert with his wife on September 3, missing a key political anniversary last Friday, as well as a recent session of the country's parliament.
The report, which was typical of the state media's chronicling of Mr Kim's activities, said he "gave field guidance" to the new Wisong Scientists Residential District, and also visited the newly built Natural Energy Institute of the State Academy of Sciences.
