North Korea’s Workers’ Party will convene a plenary meeting next month to review state and party policies for this year.
Pyongyang’s state mouthpiece, the Korean Central News Agency, reported Monday that the party’s political bureau has decided to hold the second plenary meeting of the ninth central committee in late June.
According to the report, the meeting will focus on an interim review of the implementation of party and state policies for 2026 and will also address work plans for the second half of the year.
However, the report did not specify details of the agenda.
The plenary comes as North Korea seeks to implement follow-up measures to decisions made at the ninth party congress held in late February, and amid speculation that Chinese President Xi Jinping may soon visit the North.
The North has been holding plenary meetings regularly at the end of June and December, as well as when pressing issues arise.
Following the party congress earlier this year, North Korea revised its constitution to add a new territorial clause, defining its territory as the land bordering China and Russia to the north, and South Korea to the south, while removing all references to unification with South Korea.
