N.Korea's Kim inspects tank division: state media
AFP - 1 hour 19 minutes ago
SEOUL (AFP) - - North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il inspected a tank division of the Korean People's Army, state media said Saturday, the latest reported appearance by the communist leader said to be recovering from illness.
The official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) did not say exactly when Kim's visit took place, but it said "service persons enthusiastically welcomed him and offered him the warmest New Year greetings".
KCNA said Kim returned the New Year wish before watching personnel in training and also an "art performance" by the unit. Kim also had his photograph taken with the division, the report said.
South Korean and US officials have said the 66-year-old Kim suffered a stroke in mid-August. Seoul officials said he has made a good recovery, and both South Korean and US officials say he is still in control of the country.
Kim's health is the subject of intense interest since he has not publicly nominated a successor to rule the nuclear-armed communist state.
Kim has a history of diabetes and heart disease, Seoul officials say.
North Korea's state media carried no reports between August 14 and October 4 of Kim's public appearances.
But the media have reported Kim's trips to a variety of destinations since then and have published photographs in an apparent attempt to show that he is active and in charge.
