Which countries has Kim Jong-un visited?

Kim Jong-un was sent abroad at a young age and became the supreme leader of North Korea in 2011, following the death of his father, Kim Jong-il.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is the second son of the late leader Kim Jong-il and his third wife, Ko Yong-hui. Kim is believed to have been born in 1982 or 1983.

Not much is known about the childhood of leader Kim Jong-un. But according to unofficial sources, he completed his primary education in his native North Korea.

Kim Jong-un first traveled abroad in 1992, accompanying his mother to Japan and China. He was later sent to study in Switzerland under the name Un Park and with the alias of the son of a North Korean diplomat.

Upon his return to North Korea in 2000, Kim Jong-un was believed to have completed his middle and high school education, becoming fluent in German, French, and English. During this time, he was likely sent to France and Germany by his school to further hone his language skills.

According to the BBC, Kim later attended Kim Il-sung University in Pyongyang and began accompanying his father, Kim Jong-il, on domestic inspection tours in 2007.

According to unofficial sources, Kim Jong-un accompanied his father, Kim Jong-il, to China in 2009 and 2010. Chinese officials denied this, but South Korean intelligence considered it accurate.

This period also marked a significant milestone for Kim, as he became a general in the North Korean army at the age of 27.

The death of former leader Kim Jong-il in 2011 propelled Kim Jong-un to the supreme leadership of North Korea. Since then, Kim has focused on addressing domestic issues and pursuing his goals of developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

This is also the reason Kim Jong-un canceled his visit to Iran in 2012. The leader, Kim Jong-un, was rumored to have visited Russia in 2015, but that visit was canceled at the last minute.

The South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo suggested at the time that Kim Jong-un did not appear because Pyongyang was not yet ready to present his image to the world. The television coverage could also have damaged his image.

The North Korean leader delivered his first public speech on April 15, 2012, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the late leader Kim Il-sung.

Kim Jong-un became the supreme leader of North Korea after the death of his father, Kim Jong-il, in 2011.

Kim Jong-un stated at the time that superiority in military technology would no longer be in the hands of the United States and the West.

Under leader Kim Jong-un, North Korea has made significant strides in nuclear technology and long-range missiles. On November 29, the successful launch of the Hwasong-15 missile made North Korea the next country to master modern missile technology, after the United States, Russia, and China.

According to experts, once North Korea is recognized by the international community as a nuclear power and the country's situation stabilizes, Kim Jong-un will begin his first official foreign visits.

The North Korean leader's most likely destinations will be China and Russia.
