[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] North Korea is holding the '3 Major Revolutions Pioneer Conference' on ideological, technological, and cultural revolutions in Pyongyang, and the Ministry of Unification has analyzed that the conference holds significance for 'regime consolidation.'

Lee Jong-joo, spokesperson for the Ministry of Unification, said at a regular briefing on the 15th, "This conference is being held for the first time in six years, with a somewhat shorter interval compared to the previous roughly 10-year cycle," adding, "Since this year marks the 10th anniversary of General Secretary Kim Jong-un's leadership, it is also meaningful as a significant internal event to strengthen regime unity."

The Korean Central News Agency reported on the same day, "The 5th 3 Major Revolutions Pioneer Conference will be held in Pyongyang." Considering that party secretaries Oh Su-yong and Tae Hyung-chol, as well as department heads Oh Il-jung, Huh Cheol-man, and Yoo Jin, visited the participants' accommodations to congratulate them, it appears the conference will be held around this time.

The 3 Major Revolutions Pioneer Conference was previously held four times under the name '3 Major Revolutions Red Flag Seizure Movement Pioneer Conference' in November 1986, November 1995, February 2006, and November 2015. This is the second time it is being held since General Secretary Kim's leadership began.

At the 4th conference in 2015, General Secretary Kim sent a letter urging participants to make efforts. Given that North Korea is placing great importance on economic performance this year, the first year of its five-year plan, attention is focused on whether General Secretary Kim will participate directly in this conference.
