SEOUL: The North Korean Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA) will convene a new session on October 7 in Pyongyang to discuss matters related to a constitutional amendment, official media reported on Monday.
The last meeting of the assembly was held in January where North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un called for a constitutional amendment that would view Seoul as the “primary foe.” At that time, Kim Jong Un stated that he had concluded that unification with the South Korea was no longer possible.
Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that matters like laws about the light industry and product quality supervision will also be discussed during the session.
The decision for the upcoming meeting was made at a plenary meeting of the parliament’s Standing Committee on Sunday.
The North’s parliament rarely meets and frequently serves to approve decisions on matters such as governing structures as well as budgets that have been created by ruling Workers’ Party, members of which form the vast majority of the assembly.
