North Korea
Kim Jong-un of the Kim dynasty is the current Supreme Leader or "Suryeong" of North Korea. He heads all major governing structures: he is Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of North Korea, and Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army. His grandfather Kim Il-sung, the founder and leader of North Korea until his death in 1994, is the country's "Eternal President", while his father Kim Jong-il who succeeded Kim Il-sung as leader was announced "Eternal General Secretary" after his death in 2011.
Ghana–North Korea relations
In the 1960s, North Korea's isolationist policies were viewed favorably in Ghana that professed a similar stance. Kim Il-sung, the leader of North Korea, shared much in common politically with Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, although the latter never went quite as far in terms of state control over the economy, society, and culture of his country. In July 1966, after the Nkrumah administration had been overthrown, Ghana temporarily terminated relations with North Korea when it uncovered that North Korea was training anti-government guerrillas in Ghana. Similar diplomatic incidents involving North Korea took place in other African countries as well with comparable results.
