SEOUL, 11 February, 2021 (TON): On Thursday, Kim Jong-un North Korean leader called on the legislation sector to strengthen legal supervision and control over the establishment and executive process of the national economic plan.

Kim on Wednesday suggested important tasks for firmly ensuring the implementation of the national economic plan by law and the fulfillment of this year's economic tasks. It happened on the third day of the plenary meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the ruling Workers' Party.

He called on the legislative sector to remove irrational elements becoming stumbling blocks to the implementation of the national economic plan and enact and perfect new laws for every sector which help promote the efficiency of production and construction.

He particularly urged legislative bodies to check all kinds of illegal practices revealed in economic activities.

He also said party officials should intensify political guidance to achieve this year's economic tasks.

Kim unveiled a new five-year economic development plan focusing on self-reliance at the eighth congress of the Workers' Party last month.
