SEOUL, Feb 23 (AFP): North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been re-elected as the general secretary of the ruling Workers' Party at a rare congress, state media said Monday.
The decision was made Sunday-day four of the congress-"in accordance with the unshakable will and unanimous desire of all the delegates", the Korean Central News Agency said.
Under the leadership of Kim, "the war deterrence of the country with the nuclear forces as its pivot has been radically improved," the KCNA report said.
Held just once every five years, the days-long party congress offers a rare glimpse into the workings of a nation where even mundane details are shrouded in secrecy.
