North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un promoted his sister to the country’s politburo, the top decision-making body.

Kim Yo Jong, the youngest daughter of former leader Kim Jong Il, will be replacing her aunt as an alternate member of the Worker’s Party Politburo. As an alternate member, she can take part in discussions but cannot vote. Kim Yo Jong, 28, was described as a senior party official three years ago.
