North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has presided over a Central Military Commission meeting to discuss the discipline among the military officials and stricter control over the younger officers, state media reported on Thursday. At the expanded military commission meeting of the ruling Workers Party on Wednesday, Kim stressed on the importance of establishing revolutionary moral discipline particularly among the younger generation in the Army, according to the Korean Central News Agency. To establish the revolutionary moral discipline within the KPA is not just a technical issue, but a fatal issue related to the existence of the KPA and success or failure in the army building and military activities, Kim said, referring to the People s Army, Yonhap reported.
