Top South Korean official says his country remains confident that there have been no “unusual developments” in North Korea.
There are concerns, particularly in Seoul and Washington, about what would happen toand its nuclear program if anything had actually happened to Kim. For South Korea and the U.S., Kim's absence would mean the departure of a man they’ve dealt with over the past two years to try to achieve the North’s denuclearization, though talks have stalled in recent months.
North Korea’s state media has since made no mention of Kim’s health or his public activities, though they said he had received some messages of greeting from foreign countries. On Monday, North Korea’s state TV broadcast said Kim sent his thanks to workers and officials at a tourist resort construction site on the east coast.
South Korea’s presidential office earlier said it has information that Kim has been staying out of Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital, and that there had been no emergency readiness order issued by the North’s military or the ruling Workers’ Party that likely would have been made if Kim were truly in serious condition.
