Official List: Chosun Workers’ Party Appointments

Chosun Central News Agency (KCNA) released the results of the Chosun Workers’ Party Delegates’ Conference to the world at a little after 4 A.M. today.

While the most prominent move was Kim Jong Eun’s becoming Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Party, there were widespread changes in the upper echelons of the Party.

The Party regulations were also amended. According to KCNA, “The revised regulations redefine the structure, positions and roles of the Chosun Workers’ Party in a way appropriate to its characteristics as the highest leadership organ concentrated on Comrade Kim Jong Il, with high regard to reflecting having Comrade Kim Il Sung as the eternal Suryeong of the Party and revolution and the immortal achievements of Great Suryeong Comrade Kim Il Sung and Great Leader Comrade Kim Jong Il.”

Within the revised regulations, KCNA asserted the Party has “modified and added to the work of Party organs to meet the demands of the new era of the Juche revolution,” adding new provisions covering the “Party and the People’s Regime,” the latter known better as the Cabinet, the Party emblem and flag.
