Kim Jong Il

Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held a summit meeting on Wednesday after a grand welcome ceremony at Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang, Russian media said, as they pledged to develop their nations' ties.

The commission added that 29 different versions of the 'Friendly Father' music video will be restricted, although it did not specify other details.

Thousands of people unmasked and not socially distanced packed into Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung square to watch the massive military parade on April 25 to celebrate the founding anniversary of the army.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held center stage at a military parade, showing off to a national television audience a thinner frame, a trace of a tan and a haircut reminiscent of his grandfather -- state founder Kim Il Sung.

For about as long as North Korea has existed, Kim Pyong Il has been considered a possible successor to the throne. And now, with his nephew Kim Jong Un's health status unclear, his name is being bandied about again.

The Day of the Sun -- the April 15 holiday celebrating Kim Jong Un's late grandfather, Kim Il Sung -- has long been the most important date on North Korea's political calendar. This year, the supreme leader failed to show.

North Korea launched multiple short-range anti-ship cruise missiles into the sea and Sukhoi jets fired air-to-surface missiles on Tuesday as part of its ongoing military exercises, South Korea's military said.

North Koreans went to the polls Sunday for an election in which there could be only one winner. With portraits of the leader's father Kim Jong Il and grandfather Kim Il Sung looking down on every ballot box, voters lined up to drop their slips inside.

President Donald Trump used Twitter to threaten "Little Rocket Man," but he and Kim Jong Un have since developed a "beautiful" relationship through a more old-fashioned means of communication: paper letters.

Before meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, Southern spy "Black Venus" was told to stay up late, shower, and dress neatly. He also hid a micro recorder in his penis.

The United States will soon present a timeline to North Korea with "specific asks" of Pyongyang after a historic summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, a senior U.S. defense official said.

When former president Bill Clinton traveled to North Korea in 2009 on a humanitarian mission to free two American journalists, he delivered strict instructions to his team ahead of their meeting with dictator Kim Jong Il: "We're not smiling."

On a cliff topped with pine trees and battered by icy waves, a stone villa stands at a cross-roads of Korean history, one that local officials hope can become a place of reconciliation.

For much of the world, it's a niche product. In North Korea, where winter temperatures are frigid and which cannot produce enough cotton or wool for clothing, the synthetic fibre developed after nylon was glorified as a revolutionary invention. Known outside North Korea as vinylon, it was christened "vinalon" by founder Kim Il Sung. He ordered it b...

Kim Jong Un has taken another key step to consolidate his family's control over North Korea, elevating his younger sister to the powerful political bureau of the ruling Workers' Party and moving her closer to the center of the leadership.
