North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un appeared in public after a gap of almost three weeks.
Kim's absence at an event to commemorate his grandfather's birth anniversary had sparked speculation about his health.
Kim Il Sung founded the current-day North Korean state.
Reports had suggested that Kim Jong Un was in a critical condition following a surgery.
However, he seemed in good spirits on May 2, while attending an event to mark the completion of a fertiliser factory in Pyongyang.
