Seoul: North Korean state media on Wednesday released a series of pictures of its leader Kim Jong-un where in he can be seen riding a white horse on a snow covered mountain considered sacred in the country.
“The beloved oldest leader, Kim Jong- un, climbed the mountain” read the caption with the eight photographs accompanying an article published by the state-owned KCNA agency.
The article said that Kim Jong-un “climbed up Mt Paektu, riding a white horse through the first snow.
“It is a great event of weighty importance in the history of the Korean revolution,” and during his ascent, the leader “recollected with deep emotion the road of arduous struggle he covered for the great cause of building the most powerful country with faith and will as firm as Mt Paektu.”
The mountain holds a special place in the country’s identity and is feted as the birthplace of Kim Jong-un’s father.
Experts pointed out that his three previous solo visits to the famed mountain, located at the area bordering China in the northeast of the country, preceded important decisions, reported Efe news.
His previous visit was in December 2017, just before the regime opted to take a diplomatic turn in its relations with South Korea and the US. (IANS)
