North Korea began the first party congress in 36 years in the capital Pyongyang on Friday. The event is forecast to solidify the leadership of Kim Jong-un and further entrench his policies. This, as North Korea is under pressure from US-led sanctions. Press TV correspondent Frank Smith reports from Seoul.
