Kim cemented his power at a congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea in January, where he was elected its general secretary, taking a title last held by his late father, Kim Jong Il.Now Kim wants the party to play a greater role in government, as compared to the more-military centred administration of his father, the agency added.
In a statement, South Korea’s Unification Ministry said new party by-laws were publicized in North Korea after the January meeting. But the ministry, which is responsible for relations with the neighbouring nation, cannot disclose details, it added.The new post is the most senior of the party’s seven secretaries and is likely to have been taken by Jo Yong Won of the politburo’s five-member presidium, Yonhap said.
At the time of the January meeting, analysts viewed him as holding the government’s No. 3 position, after Kim and Choe Ryong Hae, chairman of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People’s Assembly.Kim Jong Un has wielded almost absolute power in North Korea’s dynastic system since taking over after Kim Jong Il’s death in 2011.

Risky, impatient climbers bring danger to North America's highest peakRangers who keep an eye on North America's highest mountain peak say impatient and inexperienced climbers are taking more risks and endangering themselves and other climbers after a year off because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Wow. Science Dinali is beautiful!!! The operative phrase is 'endanger themselves;' the mountain doesn't actually give a shit. All climbers should be considered DNR (Rescue in this case). That goes for idiot hikers too.
