More changes: North Korea's titular head of state Kim Yong Nam replaced by Choe Ryong Hae.

Kim Yong Nam = the nonagenarian veteran who has probably more airmiles than any other DPRK elite.

Choe Ryong Hae well-known to many, of course, but don't forget: sanctions designated, too

Also new:

Choe Son Hui, the regular point-person for U.S.-DPRK contact, elected as member of the State Affairs Commission.

No mention, however, of Kim Hyok Chol, the former Ambassador of Spain who led negotiations with Steve Biegun in Vietnam.

Heard from source he maybe out.
