SEOUL: North Korea's ruling party has kicked off a major annual meeting with economic policy on the agenda, state media reported on Tuesday. Instead of a New Year's Day speech, leader Kim Jong Un in recent years has used the year-end plenary meeting of the Workers' Party of Korea as a platform to outline policies in key areas such as diplomacy, security and the economy.
The meeting's agenda includes a review of policy implementation in 2022 and next year's budget, it added, without providing details.At last year's plenary, Kim focused on domestic policies, especially the economy and agriculture, instead of directly addressing the United States. Experts have said the tone could be different this time around. Despite heavy international sanctions, Pyongyang has doubled down on the development of its arsenal.
