North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made his first public appearance after a long absence. This was reported by the Yonghap agency.
The head of the DPRK chaired a meeting of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea. At the meeting, Kim Jong-un called for strengthening “anti-epidemic work” and noted the need to maintain the country's heightened combat readiness. It is noted that the North Korean leader attended the public event for the first time in 25 days.
Earlier it was reported that North Korea has taken extreme measures to combat the coronavirus. South Korean intelligence claims that its neighbors have mined the border with China. At the same time, it is emphasized that Pyongyang does not have the technical or physical means to combat the spread of COVID-19, which can lead to disastrous consequences.
