North Korea sings praises of 'motherly' ruling party after

May 11, 2016 23:48

North Korea today sang the praises of the ruling party in a two-hour concert extolling its achievements and those of the Kim dynasty that has ruled the country for its entire history.

The show entitled "Always follow our party" was staged to celebrate a Workers' Party congress, the first for 36 years, which ended on Monday.

That meeting was widely seen as a coronation for current leader Kim Jong-Un, who took power after the sudden death of his father Kim Jong-Il in December 2011 and has been working to claw back power from the military.

The concert featured the country's first all-women group, the Moranbong Band, whose members -- clad in white outfits ending above the knee and matching hats -- were said to have been chosen by the leader himself.
