China sent a delegation of medical experts to North Korea to advise on North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Reuters reported on the 25th, citing three sources who knew the matter.

The delegation, led by a senior official from the Chinese Communist Party's Foreign Relations Department dealing with the North Korean issue, left Beijing on the 23rd and headed to North Korea, two sources told Reuters.

It is said that they requested anonymity considering the sensitivity of the matter.

Reuters said the news from Chinese medical staff and officials was coming amid mixed news about Kim's health.

Immediately after the North Korean media Daily NK reported on the 20th, "Chairman Kim received a cardiovascular procedure at the Hyangsan Medical Center in Myohyangsan District, Pyeonganbuk-do on the 12th and is being treated at Hyangsan Special", the American CNN broadcaster said, "Kim is in serious danger after surgery. The US government is watching. "

However, after the Korean government drew "there is no special trend", it was confused when Reuters' comments by the Chinese Communist Party's foreign contact officials, saying "I know that Kim is not at risk now," were passed through Reuters.

US President Trump said on the 23rd (local time) "I heard they (CNN) wrote old documents" and said "The report is said to be inaccurate. I see it as a false report by CNN." It seemed to drive.

However, Reuters warned against expanding interpretations as it is currently unknown what China's medical staff is suggesting regarding Kim's health.

A source in South Korea told Reuters that Kim had information that he was alive and likely to appear sooner or later.

An official who knows about US intelligence also said that Kim is known to have health problems, but that there is no reason to conclude that it is critical or never to appear again in the public.
