North Korea has closed its borders to try to protect itself from a potentially devastating pandemic in a country with notoriously inadequate medical infrastructure. Pyongyang continues to argue that no cases of COVID-19 have been detected on its soil, even though the epidemic has spread to almost the entire globe.
Kim told Xi that he was as happy with China's successes as North Korea's, KCNA said, adding that he sent "militant greetings to each member of the Communist Party of China". .
Kim’s medical condition has been the subject of intense speculation abroad for several weeks, owing to the leader’s absence from official press photos of the April 15 celebrations. This date is the most important on the North Korean political calendar because it commemorates the birth of the founder of the regime, Kim Il-sung.
If media outlets around the world have speculated that his health will deteriorate dramatically, or even die, South Korea has said fairly quickly that it has no reason to believe the rumors.
International negotiations on denuclearization have stalled since the failure of the second summit between Kim and President Donald Trump in February 2019 in Hanoi.
Inter-Korean relations have since cooled considerably, making us forget the three summits that had previously brought together Mr. Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
New illustration on Friday, with a rant launched by North Korea against its neighbor to the south after military exercises in the Yellow Sea during the week.
"Everything returned to its starting point, before the North-South summit of 2018," said a spokesman for the North Korean Ministry of Defense in a statement released by KCNA.
These maneuvers "remind us again of the obvious fact that the enemy will remain the enemy all the time," he added, saying that the situation required "a necessary reaction on our part".
