北韩说，北韩领导人金正日出席了农历新年音乐会。他在几天前刚刚接待了一名外国政要。北韩官方的朝中社今天(星期二)说，其他高级官员也出席了这场音乐会。朝中社没有详细说明音乐会举办的时间。
中国国家媒体星期五报导，金正日在平壤会见了一名到访的中国特使。
这是金正日自去年8月以来首次被报导与一名外国政要进行接触。当时，美国和韩国政府官员说，金正日中风了。北韩否认这一指称，并且公布了一系列显示金正日身体健康的照片。
North Korea says leader Kim Jong Il has attended a Lunar New Year concert days after he hosted a foreign dignitary. The North’s official Korean Central New Agency said today (Tuesday) that other top officials also attended the concert. The agency did not specify when the event was held.
Chinese state media on Friday reported Mr. Kim met a visiting Chinese envoy in Pyongyang.
It was Mr. Kim’s first reported encounter with a foreign dignitary since August, when U.S. and South Korean officials said he suffered a stroke. North Korea has denied the claim and released a series of undated photos to show Mr. Kim is in good health.
