Kim Jong-un has appeared in public for the first time in 20 days, North Korean state media says.

Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reports that the North Korean leader cut the ribbon, at the opening of a fertiliser factory. It adds that people at the factory broke into thunderous cheers of hurrah, when he appeared on Friday.

The reported appearance,his first since an event on state media on 12 April - comes amid global speculation over his health. The latest reports from North Korean media could not be independently confirmed.

Asked about Mr Kim's reported reappearance, US President Donald Trump told reporters that he didn't want to comment yet.

Speculation about Mr Kim's health began, after he missed the birth anniversary celebrations of his grandfather, state founder Kim Il Sung on 15 April.

The anniversary is one of the biggest events in the North Korean calendar, and Mr Kim usually marks it, by visiting the mausoleum where his grandfather lies. Mr Kim had never missed this event//BBC
