North Korea officials stand by Kim Jong-un

The new ruler’s youth and quick ascension to power have raised questions in foreign capitals about how ready he is to rule over this nation of 24 million with a nuclear program as well as chronic trouble feeding all its people.

Yang said he had no concerns about Kim’s ability to lead.

“The respected comrade Kim Jong-un had long assisted the great Gen. Kim Jong-il,” he told AP. “It’s not a secret that he has helped the great general in many different aspects – not only in military affairs but also the economy and other areas as well.”

Daily life in this cold, sombre capital has begun to return to normal one month after Kim’s death, reportedly from a heart attack while riding on his private train.

The white mourning bouquets and massive portraits of the departed leader have been cleared from Pyongyang’s main buildings and monuments. People are busy getting back to daily life, with children whizzing down icy slopes on wooden sleds and workers running to catch morning buses and trams as the Kim Jong-un ode “Footsteps” blares over loudspeakers.
