Following rumours of his death, North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, made his first public appearance in weeks when he cut the ribbon at the opening of a fertiliser factory, KCNA reported Saturday.
Kim “attended the ceremony” on Friday and “all the participants broke into thunderous cheers of ‘hurrah!’” when he appeared, the Korean Central News Agency said.
This is first time state media has reported him making a public appearance since speculation about his health began last month.
Kim has not made a public appearance since presiding over a Workers’ Party politburo meeting on April 11, and the following day state media reported on him inspecting fighter jets at an air defence unit.
