Instability factor remains in N. Korea: unification minister
SEOUL, Feb. 6 (Yonhap) -- Despite its perceived external stability, North Korea appears to have a remaining instability factor following the death of Kim Jong-il in December, Seoul's unification minister said Monday.
The assessment came as North Korea's new leader Kim Jong-un, believed to be in his late 20s, appears to be concentrating efforts to consolidate the power he inherited from his father, Kim Jong-il.
