  • 5 years ago
North Korea will have its first meeting of the new parliament next month after its recent rubberstamp election of deputies.
The regime's state-run Korean Central News Agency reports... the North will hold the first session of its 14th Supreme People's Assembly on April 11th.
The assembly is the regime's parliament that ratifies decisions made by the ruling party, enacts laws and reviews the state budget.
Just under 690 deputies were elected last week... and for the first time, Kim Jong-un was not included.
The meeting draws attention to what changes the regime might make on its ruling system and personnel... as well as on foreign policies and its nuclear and missile programs.
