Former Intelligence Official: North Korea Regime Stable
Kim Jong Un's hold on power in North Korea appears more secure than many pundits suggest, a former South Korean intelligence official said.
Dr. Suh Hoon, former deputy director for North Korean Intelligence at National Intelligence Service, South Korea's main intelligence agency, said the North Korean regime is currently stable and is likely to remain in power for the foreseeable future despite increased international sanctions against the country. Suh, a prominent North Korea expert, is an authority on Pyongyang's leadership.
The assessment came a day after North Korea ended its four-day party congress, widely seen as a political event that cemented Kim's rule.
Suh said the party gathering mainly served to pave the way for Kim's long-term reign in the country.
