Reuters. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was reappointed as president of state affairs, state-run television KRT reported on Monday (March 23), after the isolated nation convened the first session of its Supreme People's Assembly on Sunday (March 22).
The assembly, North Korea's rubber-stamp legislature that formally approves state policy, typically meets following a ruling Workers' Party Congress to turn party decisions into law. It discusses amendments and supplements to the socialist constitution, as well as the election of the chairman of the State Affairs Commission and other state leadership bodies.
The meeting will also review the country's economic five-year plan announced at the ninth party congress held in February, state media added.
