North Korea’s Kim Visits Family Tomb To Pay Tribute To Grandfather – KCNA

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un paid his respects at the mausoleum for his grandfather Kim Il Sung on Thursday to celebrate the birthday of the founder of the state, official media KCNA reported.

According to KCNA, Kim and his wife, Ri Sol Ju, also watched a performance of song and dance at the Kumsusan Palace of Sun, where his father and grandfather lie in state, in celebration of the national holiday.

“When the performance was over, the audience again broke into stormy cheers for the General Secretary,” it reported.

Kim’s absence at last year’s anniversary raised speculation about his health. A flurry of unconfirmed reports about his condition and his whereabouts followed, including reports suggesting that Kim was in grave danger after a surgery.

Kim was accompanied to the palace this year by senior North Korean officials, including his sister Kim Yo Jong.

Earlier this month, North Korea said it would not participate in the Tokyo Olympics due to coronavirus concerns, dashing South Korean hopes that the Games could be a catalyst to revive peace talks.

North Korea says it has not had any coronavirus cases.
