North Korea is set to convene a plenary meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea next month to review state and party policies for the year. The Korean Central News Agency announced that the meeting will focus on assessing the implementation of policies for 2026 and discussing important issues for the second half of the year.
These plenary meetings are a regular occurrence for North Korea, typically held at the end of June and December. They serve as a platform to address crucial matters and make decisions on policy directions. The upcoming meeting may involve discussions on North Korea’s stance towards South Korea and the United States.
Speculations have arisen about Chinese President Xi potentially visiting North Korea soon to mediate between Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump. This meeting follows North Korea’s efforts to follow through on decisions made during the ninth party congress held earlier this year, including constitutional revisions.
