Kim Jong Un will continue leading North Korea’s Workers’ Party after being confirmed for another term as general secretary, according to an announcement from the country’s state-controlled news agency KCNA on Monday.
The decision came during the fourth day of the party’s congress meetings, which took place on Sunday. Along with confirming Kim’s leadership position, party members also selected new Central Committee members and approved changes to party regulations, though KCNA did not reveal specific details about what modifications were made.
The congress meetings represent significant political events in North Korea, where the Workers’ Party maintains complete control over the isolated nation’s government and policy decisions.
