North Korea’s Kim Jong Un launches key party congress held every 5 years
AI Summary
North Korea commenced its Ninth Congress of the ruling Workers' Party (WPK) on Thursday in Pyongyang, a key political event held every five years. The congress will address major policy goals related to defense, diplomacy, and the economy. Kim Jong Un, in his opening speech, prioritized economic development and improving living standards, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). The gathering is closely watched for indications of North Korea's nuclear weapons development and its stance towards South Korea and the United States. While Kim did not mention relations with either country, outside experts suggest North Korea's economy is gradually recovering due to increased trade with China and weapons exports to Russia. The congress is expected to last several days.
