Presidium Of The Politburo Of The WPK
The Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Workers' Party of Korea, or simply the Presidium, and formerly known as the Standing Committee (1946–61), is a committee consisting of the top leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea. Historically it has been composed of one to five members, and currently has five members. Its officially mandated purpose is to conduct policy discussions and make decisions on major issues when the Politburo, a larger decision-making body, is not in session.

As North Korea is a one-party state, the Presidium's decisions ''de facto'' have the force of law. Its role is roughly analogous to that of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. History The Presidium was revitalized at the 3rd Con ...
