2022 has been a very “active nuclear” year for North Korea. More than 70 ballistic missiles were also fired as a show of force, in which Kim Jong Un made it clear that he did not want to back down on the nuclear arsenal.
Who comes where?
As part of the reorganization, Defense Minister Ri Yong Gil was named the new vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers’ Party of Korea. In doing so, he succeeds Pak Jong Chon, reports the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
Necessary changes have also been made in the Ministry of Defence. For example, Kang Sun Nam has been appointed as the new Defense Minister, succeeding Ri Yong Gil. Pak Su Il was appointed Chief of Staff of the Army General Staff.
