N. Korea's Supreme People's Assembly to nominate Kim Jong-un as chairman

北최고인민회의 개막…"김정은 중앙인민위원장 추대 전망" North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly gets underway today... a process widely seen as cementing Kim Jong-un's grip on power. The assembly is North Korea's legislative body and the session comes 50 days after a rare Workers' Party Congress last month. South Korea's Unification Ministry says today's convention will address the legislation and revision issues of the organizational structure and constitution among other things. In particular, the event will be aimed at tightening Kim's rule. Experts predict he will take the title of chairman of the Central People's Committee ... a position once held by his late grandfather and North Korea's founder Kim Il-sung. North Korea's state-run media reports the assembly will also suggest goals for the country's five-year economic development plan.
