(Reuters) - North Korea marked a founding anniversary of its ruling Workers' Party with a celebratory concert and banquet, and leader Kim Jong Un called for renewed training of all workers into revolutionaries espousing communism, state media said on Friday.
The events on the 79th anniversary on Thursday were relatively low-key affairs compared with some years in the past when North Korea held large military parades showcasing its latest weaponry and with visits by high-ranking Chinese officials.
