According to North Korean official news agency, leader Kim Jong-un has finally made his first public appearance since September 3 at a newly built scientists' residential district.
According to the BBC, the news agency said that Kim was seen walking with a stick as he 'gave field guidance' at the site.
The absence of the 32 year old leader has led to global speculations about Kim's health and his grip on the secretive communist state.
On Sunday, North Korea's ambassador to London had said that Kim was in good health.
According to KCNA, Kim also visited the newly built Natural Energy Institute of the State Academy of Sciences.
It was not specified as to what date the leader appeared in public. However, the news release was dated Tuesday.
