North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun with newly elected central leadership members of the Workers' Party of Korea after the ninth party congress concluded. The visit highlights the regime's focus on unity among party officials and commitment to implementing new five-year policy goals. At the congress, Kim expressed openness to dialogue with the United States if it abandons its hostile policy, while dismissing South Korea's overtures as 'deceptive'.
North Korea is set to hold the first session of its new Supreme People's Assembly on Sunday, amid attention on whether it will codify its hostile policy toward South Korea in the constitution. The session follows the selection of new deputies after the Ninth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea last month.
