North Korea's ceremonial head of state, Kim Yong-nam, arrived in Beijing on Tuesday, apparently en route to some African nations, a diplomatic source said.

Kim, the head of North Korea's rubber-stamp parliament, was seen arriving at the Beijing airport earlier in the day, and left the airport escorted by North Korean Embassy cars.

The diplomatic source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Kim made a stopover in Beijing before heading for some African nations.

The source declined to say which African countries Kim plans to visit. (Yonhap)
