North Korea s Foreign Minister Ri Son-gwon, a hawkish former point man on the U.S. and South Korea, has disappeared from public view since August.
Ri also seems to have lost his position as a candidate member of the Politburo. We re trying to find out what happened to him, a senior government official here said on Thursday. He still retains his position as foreign minister.
Ri was not seen when leader Kim Jong-un paid his respects to his late father Kim Jong-il during a ceremony marking Kim senior s ninth death anniversary at the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun in Pyongyang on Thursday.
