N.Korea ruling party to hold leadership meet Sept 28

None

North Korea's ruling party will hold its biggest meeting in decades on Sept. 28 to pick a new leadership, state media reported on Tuesday, and likely anoint an heir to the dynasty as Kim Jong-il's health deteriorates.

 

Kim, who is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008, has reportedly accelerated succession plans, and analysts say his youngest son Kim Jong-un is likely to be given an official title at the Workers' Party conference. (Reuters)
