North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has banned all weddings and funerals as the nation prepares to anoint him as its leader, according to Britain's Sunday Times newspaper.
With thousands of delegates expected to travel to Pyongyang to congratulate Kim, weddings and funerals have been canceled for security reasons.
Security forces in provinces across the military state have been brought into the capital Pyongyang.
At the congress, which is expected last four-five days from May 6, Kim will make his leadership official and praise the nation's recent nuclear and missile tests.
The Workers' Party of Korea Congress will be the first in 36 years.
