SEOUL, 09 August 2022, (TON): State media said “North Korea’s rubber-stamp parliament will hold its next session in September where it is set to discuss new laws and other organizational issues.”
The hermit state’s legislative body meets only once or twice a year, mostly for day-long sessions to approve budgets or other decisions deemed necessary by the ruling Workers’ Party.
The official Korean Central News Agency reported “the 7th Session of the 14th Supreme People’s Assembly of the DPRK will be convened in Pyongyang on September 7.”
It added “the session will discuss the issue of adopting the law on the socialist rural development and the law on landscaping and the organizational matter.”
Such meetings are carefully monitored by observers for any changes to economic policy or a reshuffle of high-ranking officials.
