N. Korean leader Kim Jong-il meets with visiting Chinese official: Xinhua
SEOUL, Jan. 22 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il met with a visiting Chinese official on Friday, Xinhua said, as Kim appeared for the first time to a foreign guest since he reportedly suffered a stroke last summer.
Kim has since recovered and is back in control of his country, according to Seoul
officials.
Wang Jiarui, chief of the international department in the Chinese Communist
Party's central committee, met with the North Korean leader on Friday, the
Chinese news agency said.
Kim's health has drawn keen attention as it is bound to a power succession in the
communist state. The leader will turn 67 next month.
