[정치]North Korea stipulates’strengthening national defense power’ in party rules… emphasizes system governance

[앵커]

North Korea today revised the Party Code, clarifying the details of strengthening its national defense capabilities, and unveiled its policy of operating state administration for the new year.

Externally, it emphasized that it is a normal state and emphasized the system-based rule like China and Vietnam, where the party was the center.

North Korea announced at the 8th Party Congress that it has “supplemented the reinforcement of the republic’s armed forces in terms of political ideology and military technology.”

It made it clear that strengthening national defense capabilities, such as nuclear submarines and hypersonic weapons, is an important direction for state administration in a situation where economic performance is difficult.

However, as in the Kim Jong-il era, it emphasized the control of the party so that the prestige of the military did not grow excessively due to’first military politics’.

After five years, we abolished the Party’s Political Affairs Bureau and revived the Secretariat, and began to strengthen’responsible management management’ centered on Chairman Kim Jong-un.

Measures have also been taken to show the face of a socialist state that operates through a system like China and Vietnam, not centered on top leaders.

The Party’s Political Bureau’s Standing Committee was reinforced to make decisions on urgent and critical issues politically, economically, and militaryly, and to deal with issues of appointment and dismissal of important state executives.

The convention was also regularly established every five years.

On the other hand, it has not yet adopted a decision containing the conclusion of the’Business Generalization’ which corresponds to the settlement of the Central Committee of the Party.

North Korea revealed that the 6th meeting is also continuing, so considering the election of the party’s central leadership, the schedule of the 8th party meeting is expected to be longer.
