• Kim Jong-un’s new image. |
Since assuming power in 2011, the young North Korean leader has cemented his grip on power with a hard-line rule that included executing and assassinating relatives and threatening the world with hydrogen bombs. |
But, in what our correspondent calls “one of the most striking transformations in modern diplomacy,” he’s restyling himself as an amiable diplomat and peacemaker. |
