There were a few interesting events that transpired this week in North Korea. The first story in this week’s media review could be seen as an example of strong Sino-North Korean ties, as young North Koreans traveled to North China. The second story regards a curious gathering of KPA commanders and commissars in Pyongyang, of which the last meeting of this type was held in 1999 and 2000; with the two officer classes being separated. The final story in this week’s review notes the 60th anniversary of North Korea’s Irrigation Institute. Youth Delegation visits Dalian University Coverage of Sino-North Korean © Korea Risk Group.
