preparation

In June 2010 it was announced that the PdAK was planning a party conference for the beginning of September of the same year to re-elect the leadership apparatus and to reflect the new demands of the party's revolutionary development. After it was announced that a PdAk party conference would take place, foreign media speculated that Kim Jong-il would use it to put his son Kim Jong-un in position.

Military units have been concentrated in the greater Pyongyang area . Rocket launchers, artillery pieces and armored vehicles have been concentrated since mid-July 2010 and a rehearsal for a military parade with around 10,000 soldiers was held.

The congress was originally planned for early September, but was postponed without giving a reason. The official government media touted the event in advance.

On August 25, 2010, Kim Jong-il and his son Kim Jong-un were appointed army delegates.

On September 27, 2010, the day before the party conference began, delegates visited Kim Il-sung's mausoleum . In addition, Kim Jong-il named his sister Kim Kyŏng-hŭi , his youngest son Kim Jong-un and Choe Ryong-hae as four-star generals .

decisions
