N. Korean constitutional revisions elevate status of SAC chairman Kim Jong Un

DPRK repeatedly says that revisions aim to guarantee the "monolithic leadership"

North Korea’s parliament on Thursday approbated constitutional revisions which further solidify the "legal status” of the chairman of the State Affairs Commission Kim Jong Un and his leadership over “all the state affairs,” the DPRK's state media reported.

The Second Session of the 14th Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA) was held on Thursday in the absence of the North Korean leader, the state-run broadcaster Korean Central Television (KCTV) said at 20:00 local time.
