South Korean President Moon Jae-in sits adjacent to the funeral altar for his mother, Kang Han-ok, at the Namcheon Catholic Cathedral in Busan, South Korea.

Kang died of a chronic illness at a hospital in the southern city on 29 October.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has sent condolences over the passing of the mother of South Korean President, Moon’s office said on Thursday, despite Pyongyang’s aloofness and frosty bilateral ties.
