At the meeting, Marshal titles were awarded to Ri Pyong Chol, Vice Chairman of the Party Central Military Commission in charge of strategic weapons such as nuclear and missiles, and Pak Jong Chon, Chief of the General Staff of the Army, in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Party's founding.


Chairman Kim Jong Un handed them the "Joint Decision Document" on the Marshal titles and congratulated them, urging, "I hope you will repay the great trust and expectations of the Party and the people with high work achievements."


The agency added that "the revolutionary measures discussed at the 19th Political Bureau meeting of the 7th Central Committee of the Party are a significant turning point that will enable the revolution and construction to advance to a higher stage of development in accordance with the demands of the current situation."
