North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sent South Korean President Moon Jae-in a personal letter expressing his condolences over the coronavirus outbreak, which has so far infected over 6,000 and killed 42 in the country, Seoul officials said March 5.
The letter, which arrived Wednesday, marked Kim’s first public exchange with his counterpart in more than four months. It wasn’t immediately clear if Kim sent the letter to improve strained ties with South Korea amid a deadlock in broader nuclear diplomacy with the United States.
