North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has handed over some of his duties to his sister Kim Yo-jong. Reuters writes about this with reference to South Korean intelligence.
The leader of North Korea will retain absolute power over the country, but his sister has become his "de facto deputy". In particular, the issues of relations with South Korea and the United States have gone away, the agency writes.
According to South Korean intelligence, some other North Korean officials also received part of Kim Jong-un's duties.
Kim Jong-un's younger sister and confidante holds the post of deputy head of the propaganda and agitation department of the Central Committee of the Labor Party of Korea.
Let us remind you that the Bloomberg agency previously reported that Kim Jong-un is convening an extraordinary plenum of the Central Committee of the Labor Party of Korea for the first time in eight months to discuss some "important issue". Bloomberg experts on North Korea then assumed that the urgent meeting of the plenum may concern the expansion of the powers of the sister of the leader of the DPRK.
