SEOUL, March 23 (Reuters) – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was reappointed as president of state affairs, state media KCNA reported on Monday.
The country convened the first session of the Supreme People’s Assembly on Sunday, KCNA said.
The meeting in Pyongyang will discuss amendments and supplements to the socialist constitution, as well as the election of the chairman of the State Affairs Commission and other state leadership bodies. The assembly, North Korea’s rubber-stamp legislature that formally approves state policy, typically meets following a ruling Workers’ Party Congress to turn party decisions into law. The meeting will also review the country’s economic five-year plan announced at the ninth party congress held in February, KCNA said.
