North Korean parliament reelects Kim as leader and elevates his top aides

North Korea’s rubber-stamp parliament reappointed Kim Jong Un as the country’s head of state on Sunday in its first session after a recent general election, while promoting one of his closest aides to the legislature’s top post.

With Kim in attendance, the opening day of the 15th Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA) focused largely on organizational matters and laid out the agenda for the remainder of the session, the ruling party newspaper Rodong Sinmun reported Monday.
