North Korean leader Kim Jong Un fired the director of Economic Affairs Council, within a month after his appointment, citing failure to come up with a solution to salvage the country s battered economy amid sanctions and pandemic closure.
He accused the top aides for drafting plans with no big changes from previous ones which had failed tremendously on almost every sector. He blamed his economy chief Kim Tu Il and replaced him immediately with O Su Yong, a longtime economic policymaker who had served in the past as a vice premier, reports state-owned KCNA.
