North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited cemeteries to pay respects to the country's soldiers killed during the 1950-53 Korean War and to commemorate the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, state media said on Wednesday.
North Korea called its failed attempt to launch a purported military reconnaissance satellite the "most serious" shortcoming in the first half of this year and reaffirmed its pledge to put it into orbit soon, Pyongyang's state media said on Monday.
North Korea has adopted a new law aimed at protecting state secrets, amid apparent efforts to tighten internal discipline.
The KCNA further said Kim made clear that he is not interested in talks with the US and South Korea, vowing to strengthen his regime's nuclear force.
Kim has been concerned “day and night” about people in Kaesong as they continue their “campaign for checking the spread of the malignant virus”, the report added.
The patient was found in Kaesong City, which borders the South, and "was put under strict quarantine", as would anybody who had come in close contact, state media said.
On Tuesday, US Deputy Secretary of State and North Korea envoy Stephen Biegun arrived for discussions in the South, hours after Pyongyang again threw cold water on Seoul’s idea of another US-North Korea summit.
Kim declared in December an end to moratoriums on nuclear and ballistic missile tests, and Pyongyang has repeatedly said it has no intention to continue talks unless Washington drops what it describes as “hostile” policies toward the North.
The meeting held on Thursday included no mention of inter-Korean relations, an apparent indication that Kim might be focusing on internal unity, rather than external issues, amid lingering fears about the global pandemic, Yonhap news agency reported.
