SEOUL (Reuters) - New photos confirm North Korea has demoted a military leader in a reshuffle that left the ruling party s top body dominated by civilians, possibly signalling leader Kim Jong Un s focus on the economy and frustration with bureaucratic failures, analysts said.
Last week, North Korea announced the latest in a series of leadership changes that may be the most significant reshuffle of top officials in years.
State media has not given details of the personnel changes but analysts believe they included demotions for those Kim blamed for causing an unspecified great crisis with coronavirus lapses amid economic problems and food shortages compounded by anti-pandemic border closures.
