North Korea Congress: A once-in-a-generation political event

The 7th Congress of Workers’ Party began Friday in Pyongyang, the nation’s capital and biggest city.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the event will “lay out the brilliant blueprint that will advance the final victory of our revolution,” according to the state-run newspaper Rodong Sinmun.

But the secrecy surrounding the event continues, even with the presence of more than 100 international media outlets.

About 3,000 party members have poured in for this once-in-a-generation political gathering.inputs cnn
