8 OCTOBER 2007
8 OCTOBER 1997 : KIM JONG-IL OFFICIALLY TAKES THE TITLES OF GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE WORKERS PARTY AND CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL DEFENSE COMMISSION
North Korea is the first “communist monarchy”.

After a confucian three year mourning he took officially the charge of North Korea. But never the title of president of the country because his father had been named “eternal president”
As secretary general of the workers party (the Korean name of the communist party) he is the boss of the country. As chairman of the National Defense Commission, he leads the military who is in fact and even officially the political leading force.
