Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a strategic partnership during an elaborately choreographed state visit, deepening ties when there's growing U.S. concern about North Korea's help for the Russian war effort in Ukraine. NBC News' Janis Mackey Frayer reports.
SEOUL, South Korea— North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has regained weight and appears to have obesity-related health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes, and his officials are looking for new medicines abroad to treat them, South Korea’s spy agency told lawmakers Monday. The 40-year-old Kim, known for heavy drinking and smoking, comes from a family with a history of heart problems.
Lee and Park quoted the NIS as saying it obtained intelligence that North Korean officials have been trying to get new medications abroad for Kim’s suspected high blood pressure and diabetes. North Korea is one of the most secretive countries in the world, and there is virtually no way for outsiders to know Kim’s exact health conditions. The NIS also has a spotty record in confirming developments in North Korea.
