What's the purpose of inspection of Kim's son at military exercise?

The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, watched a live-fire military exercise with his youngest son and heir apparent in what was believed to be the first public appearance of Kim Jong-un since he was given the rank of four-star general last week.


The North’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Tuesday that the two Kims were joined by other members of their family and senior officials in the new North Korean leadership. The location and date of the drill were not specified.


The drill was held ahead of the 65th founding anniversary of the North’s ruling Workers’ Party that falls on Oct. 10, the North Korean Central News Agency said.


The news agency report said that when the elder Mr. Kim signaled for the live-fire drill to begin, “various ground guns showed powerful fire, while units moved in close harmony to annihilate enemies.”
