Kim Jong-un "Consideration of Inter-Korean Issues... Declaration of Comprehensive Development Stance on Foreign Relations"

Revealed at the 8th Party Congress... Details Unreleased
Party Congress Expected to Be Held on Kim Jong Un's Birthday, the 8th

North Korea's Korean Central TV reported on the 7th that the second day of the 8th Congress of the Workers' Party was held at the Pyongyang 4·25 Cultural Hall on the 6th. Chairman Kim Jong Un is seen delivering the general report on work from the podium of the congress hall.

Kim Jong Un, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of North Korea, reportedly discussed inter-Korean issues and outlined directions for the development of foreign relations during the third day of the 8th Congress of the Workers' Party, according to the North Korean state media outlet Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on the 8th.

The agency reported that Chairman Kim continued the 7th Central Committee’s work summary report from the previous day, stating that "he examined inter-Korean issues in accordance with the current situation and changing demands of the era, and declared our Party’s overall direction and policy stance to comprehensively expand and develop foreign relations."

However, similar to the earlier economic sector summary, specific details regarding the 'examination' and 'policy stance' were not disclosed.

Earlier, in the report on the 6th, North Korea revealed that Chairman Kim "reaffirmed the significant determination to strengthen national defense capabilities to a higher level to reliably safeguard the safety of the country and people and the peaceful environment for socialist construction, and set forth the goals to be achieved in this regard."

Detailed decisions related to inter-Korean and US relations are expected to be disclosed only after the conclusion of the Party Congress.

The report on this day emphasized the importance of the struggle to establish legal order.

KCNA explained, "It mentioned important issues arising from establishing a sound and revolutionary lifestyle of our own style in all areas of social life and thoroughly overcoming non-socialist elements," and "emphasized the practical need to improve state management and further strengthen legal affairs and legal struggles."

Additionally, the agency added that "practical methods to further enhance the superiority and power of our state-socialist system, which is a precious achievement of the revolution and the life and livelihood of our people," were also discussed.

Other topics addressed included socialist cultural issues such as education, health, and literature and arts.

The Central Committee’s work summary report, which began on the 5th, appears to have concluded on the third day, the previous day. While KCNA reported on the 6th and 7th that "the work summary report continues," this time it only stated that "the Congress continues."

Accordingly, it is anticipated that the Party Congress will continue on the 8th, which is Chairman Kim Jong Un’s birthday.
