This week, North Korean state media emphasized the permanency of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) on the occasion of the 77th party founding anniversary on Oct. 10. The Rodong Sinmun and other outlets also released their first photos of missile launches in nearly six months, revealing that Kim Jong Un was present at several tests in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, Kim attended the opening ceremony of the Ryonpho Greenhouse Farm, one of the most important projects this year meant to boost agricultural yields about a year after North Korea faced a “food crisis.”
