News North Korea says it will reward skill — not seniority — in its party officialsRodong Sinmun stressed that officials’ abilities matter more than seniority, signaling potential reshuffle in Jan. 2021  It’s no secret that the North Korean leadership tends to be on the older side: With decades of experience under their belts, some top officials have been around since Kim Il Sung — the country’s founder — ruled the country. But Kim Jong Un himself is only 36 years old, and state media recently emphasized that his close circle is measured by their skill, not their level of seniority. On Tuesday, North Korea’s state-run Rodong Sinmun newspaper reiterated that officials’ right to speak or “authority” is “not guaranteed by one’s position … but by one’s competence.” © Korea Risk Group.
