At the conclusion of the 8th Party Congress, Chairman Kim Jong-un re-emphasized the reinforcement of military power through nuclear force.

[김정은 / 북한 국무위원장 : 국가방위력을 질량적으로 더욱 강화하는 것을 중요한 과업으로 틀어쥐고 나가야 하겠습니다. 핵전쟁억제력을 보다 강화하면서 최강의 군사력을 키우는데 모든 것을 다해야 합니다.]

Chairman Kim made it clear that he will continue to spur the work to bring the military to the top and become stronger.

Previously, Chairman Kim mentioned’nuclear force’ 11 times in the project summary report, showing off his will to develop nuclear weapons such as nuclear submarines and tactical nuclear weapons.

[이관세 / 경남대 극동문제연구소장 : 당 대회가 인민들에게 비전과 나름의 성과를 보여줘야 되는데 (중략) 핵 무력 강화, 국방력 강화에 있어 나름대로 성과가 있었기 때문에 핵 무력 강화를 계속해가겠다, 더 발전시키겠다는 것을 강조하고 있는 것이 아닌가…]

The 8th Party Congress, held in the 10th year of Kim Jong-un’s reign, was the second longest in history for 8 days, but it is said that it is difficult to find a message of improving inter-Korean relations.

While acknowledging the failure of economic policy, he did not come up with a new policy line, but declared his will to overcome the economic crisis head-on through self-reliance.

For internal solidarity, Chairman Kim was appointed as the general secretary, reinforcing the only leadership system centered on Kim Jong-un.

[김정은 / 북한 국무위원장 : 모든 당원 동지들이 존엄 높은 조선노동당 총비서의 중책을 맡겨준 데 대하여 나는 최대의 영광으로 받아 안으면서도 송구스러움과 무거운 마음을 금할 수 없습니다.]

North Korea plans to hold the Supreme People’s Assembly on the 17th following the 8th Party Congress to hurry to complete follow-up measures such as budget, legislation, and personnel.

As the Biden administration’s actions after the 8th Party Congress are paying attention, whether or not the ROK-US joint exercises in March will be a significant watershed in inter-Korean relations.
