North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un has been hailed as the "Great Sun of the 21st Century" by state media as the country prepares for a rare ruling party congress seen as his formal "coronation".
The last congress took place over four days in 1980, when Kim's grandfather, founding leader Kim Il-Sung was still in power.
The rare gathering has involved mobilising the entire country in a 70-day campaign that came to a close on Monday.
The congress itself begins on Friday and is expected to cement Mr Kim's status as supreme leader more than four years after he came to power following the death of his father Kim Jong-Il.
