North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly has reinstated Kim Jong Un as president of state affairs during their first legislative session of the year. The assembly also discussed constitutional changes and reviewed the country's economic development plans.
Kim Jong Un has been reinstated to his role as president of state affairs in North Korea, according to reports from the nation’s official news agency KCNA on Monday.
The announcement came following Sunday’s opening session of North Korea’s Supreme People’s Assembly, which took place in the capital city of Pyongyang.
During the legislative gathering, officials addressed potential changes and additions to the country’s socialist constitution, along with selecting leadership positions for the State Affairs Commission and various government bodies.
North Korea’s parliament, which serves as a formal legislative body that typically endorses government policies without opposition, usually convenes after major Workers’ Party meetings to codify party decisions into official law.
The assembly session also included discussions about the nation’s five-year economic development strategy that was unveiled during the ninth party congress in February, according to KCNA’s reporting.
