North Korea holding a meeting to elect a new leader

North Korea's ruling communist party is to hold a rare meeting of its political bureau, state media have said.

The session will be held in September to select new leaders for the Worker's Party of Korea (WPK), the North Korean Central News Agency said. Leader Kim Jong-il is believed to be in ill health and grooming his third son, Swiss educated Kim Jong-un, to succeed him.

WPK announced "we are now faced with the sacred tasks to develop the WPK... into an eternal glorious party of Kim Il-sung and further increase its militant function and role to glorify the country as a great prosperous and powerful socialist nation."

Earlier this week the director of South Korea's National Intelligence Service said that the 27 year years old is already taking a role in policy making and frequently accompanies his father on inspection tours.

Kim Jong-il is the de facto leader of North Korea

Kim Jong-un is the third son of Kim Jong-il, rumoured to be succeeding his father

Kim Il-sung is a Korean communist and politician who led North Korea from its founding in 1948 until his death. He was officially refers to as the "Great Leader" and designated in the constitution as the country's "Eternal President"

Afterthought:
I am glad that the current president of North Korea is going to be changed, he is the leader of the country that opposes against many countries like United States of America, Germany, France and etc for their nuclear purposes, demanded unreasonable contracts with the United Nations (UN), sank a South Korea marine vessel, and many other misdeeds.

In 2008, he suffered from stroke which he did recovered, but letting such a person who has history of having stroke to lead a country is extremely dangerous as he might not be in a rational thought. With changing of president, i hope that his son would lead the country to a better future, different from his father, changing the country policy to people first instead of sticking with "Military-first" policy, open its country to more trade or capitalism, demolishing all its nuclear related materials, improve on the country's medical and education institute, build better infrastructure.

Studies in 2006 has shown that 7% kids in North Korea were severely malnourished, 37% chronically malnourished, 23.4% were underweight and one on three mothers was malnourished and anaemic as the result of the lingering effect of the famine. I hope positive changes will come from the new president of North Korea and stop relying on other countries like US and South Korea for food aid when they are capable enough of feeding their own citizens if they have direct their attention to citizen first instead of military.
