North Korea's Kim Jong Un re-elected as party leader and positions daughter as successor

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was unanimously re-elected as the general secretary of the ruling Workers' Party at a key party congress. During the congress, his younger sister, Kim Yo-jong, was also promoted to a senior party position.

South Korea's National Intelligence Service told lawmakers that Kim Jong Un is in the process of designating his teenage daughter, Kim Ju Ae, as his successor. The spy agency said the daughter is at the 'successor designation stage.'

At the same party congress, Kim Jong Un said North Korea could 'get along' with the United States if Washington changes its policies. He also ruled out any talks with South Korea, which he called the 'most hostile' state.
