On Sunday, North Korea staged a large rally in its capital, Pyongyang, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Kim Jong-il—father of current Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un—being made the general-secretary of the Worker’s Party of Korea (WPK).
Kim Jong-un visited the Kumsusan Palace in Pyongyang to pay respects to his father and his grandfather, Kim Il-sung. The three men have been the sole leaders of North Korea, which was founded by Kim Il-sung in 1948.
A range of senior North Korean officials attended the 20th anniversary celebrations in Pyongyang. According to North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency, other senior officials, including Kim Yong-nam, Choe Ryong-hae, Pak Pong-ju, and Hwang Pyong-so were present as well.
