PYONGYANG, North Korea — A senior North Korean official dismissed concerns about Kim Jong-Un’s readiness to lead, saying he spent years working closely with his late father and helping him make key policy decisions on economic and military affairs.
In the first interview with foreign journalists by a high-level North Korean official since Kim Jong-Il’s Dec. 17 death, Politburo member and Kim family confidante Yang Hyong- Sop told The Associated Press that North Koreans were in good hands with their young new leader. He emphasized an unbroken continuity from father to son that suggests a continuation of Kim Jong-Il’s key policies.
