The state-run news agency KCNA reported further promotions as part of this restructuring. North Korea continues to face international sanctions due to its nuclear weapons program but has strengthened ties with Russia while viewing U.S.-backed South Korea as its main adversary. The Korean War armistice in 1953 still technically leaves the two Koreas at war.
