From AFP:
TOKYO (AFP) — North Korea has ordered its diplomats overseas to get ready for an "important announcement" that may be related to the health of its reclusive leader Kim Jong-Il, a Japanese newspaper said Saturday.
Pyongyang has told diplomats around the world to stay in one place and refrain from traveling, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported, quoting several unnamed sources familiar with North Korean issues.
It is traditional, when changing heads of state or other high elected officials, for people in appointed positions to tender their resignations as a courtesy to the new boss. In N. Korea, when your resignation is accepted, the acceptance comes with a blindfold.
