[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 25th, the 71st anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War, North Korea appears to be quietly observing the day without any anti-American events or anti-American articles through propaganda media.

The anti-American mass rallies held every June 25th have not been held since 2018, when the Singapore North Korea?United States summit took place. Although we will have to wait one more day for this year's event to be reported, considering that it was not held last year on the 70th anniversary either, it seems unlikely to be held.

The only article related to the Korean War published in the Rodong Sinmun was titled "The Steel Commander Who Achieved the Great Victory That Will Shine Forever in History." This article merely reiterated the existing claim that the Korean War was triggered by the "imperialist aggressors" and that Chairman Kim Il-sung led it to victory.

Instead, the front page of Rodong Sinmun on that day featured articles about the State Affairs Commission orchestra performance watched by General Secretary Kim Jong-un immediately after the Party plenary meeting, Choe Ryong-hae, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly, inspecting the construction site of the Kwangcheon poultry farm, and the construction of 10,000 households in Pyongyang.

Recently, at the Workers' Party plenary meeting, General Secretary Kim mentioned that "both dialogue and confrontation are prepared," and North Korea is currently refraining from provocations.
