[앵커]

North Korea reported yesterday at the party conference that it considered the issue with South Korea and declared its direction and policy position to expand and develop external relations.

As the party conference continues today, Chairman Kim Jong-un’s birthday, I am interested in when the final decision will be announced.

North Korea discussed issues with South Korea and external relations on the third day of the party conference.

It is that they considered the South Korean issue in line with the developed situation and the changing needs of the times.

He also said that he has declared a position to expand and develop external relations.

However, it did not specifically comment on the South Korean issue and ways to develop external relations.

It is expected to be included somewhat in the final decision.

[조한범 / 통일연구원 선임연구위원 : 변화된 현실을 반영해서 대남문제를 고찰했다고 하거든요. 그 얘기는 뭐냐. 새로운 남북관계를 가져가는 전략을 고민했다고 볼 수 있어요. 그러니까 이건 제가 예상했던 것보다 훨씬 더 남북관계에 대한 의지가 담긴 표현이다, 이렇게 볼 수 있습니다.]

The government is also paying close attention to the trend of North Korea by paying attention to the fact that North Korea has referred to inter-Korean relations as “North-South relations” and referred to it as “the South-South issues.”

This is because the government’s policy will inevitably be affected depending on how it sets up its strategy toward South Korea at the party conference, which draws a picture of the North Korean state administration for the next five years.

In addition, as North Korea continues to hold the party conference despite the birthday of Chairman Kim Jong-un, unexpectedly, it is a major concern when the schedule is finished.

Considering the remaining agendas such as the adoption of the decision, revision of the Party’s rules, and elections for leadership organizations, it is expected to be finished by the 10th.

As with the 7th Party Congress, the preparations for the rally and fervor are spotted everywhere, and attention is being paid to the decision of the 8th Party Congress, which is culminating.
