China said to be about to provide confirmation of Kim Jong Un's visit

Yes, China state TV confirming the North Korean leader's visit to Beijing

The South Korean parliament says it was him also ... was accompanied by his wife

More from China CCTV:

  • Kim met with China's President Xi
  • Kim was in tow from March 25 to 28 at the invitation of Xi Jinping

More:

  • Kim invited Xi to Pyongyang, Xi accepted
  • Kim confirmed he is willing to meet with the US

This will impact on the yen (though small I reckon) - it likely indicates an easing in Korean tensions (Kim wants to talk) and is a negative for the yen (small .... like I said) .... the yen tends to benefit from geopolitical tensions (eg. Korean peninsula) due to 'flight to safety/liquidity' moves
