Kim Yo Jong: a potential successor to Kim Jong Un?

During the second plenary meeting of the 7th Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, which was held on the 7th October 2017, the younger sister of Kim Jong-un, Kim Yo-jong (김여정) was yesterday nominated as Kim Yo-jong has been made an alternate member of the WPK Politburo.

Une délégation nord-coréenne a été accueilli par le président mongol Elbegdorj. De source non-officielle, il semblerait que Choe Pu Il (en rouge sur la photographie), ministre de la Sécurité Publique nord-coréenne, ait évoqué le dossier des réfugiés nord-coréens ainsi que la possibilité de former des agents frontaliers mongols par les services spéciaux nord-coréens. A noter : Choe Pu Il fut vêtit de vêtements civils et non de son costume militaire. Est-ce un hasard ?
