North Korea's state media on Tuesday remained silent about whether it convened a key parliamentary meeting the previous day amid the possibility that the session could run for at least two days. North Korea earlier announced a plan to hold the 11th session of the 14th Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) on Monday to revise the nation's constitution. As of 8:30 a.m., the Rodong Sinmun, North Korea's main newspaper, and the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), had not carried any report on the opening of the SPA meeting. The KCNA usually runs reports of the outcome of major political events early the following morning. Without reporting the SPA session, state media highlighted North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's speech delivered during his visit to a military university the previous day. North Korea could hold the SPA meeting for at least two days, given that it has occasionally held two-day sessions of the SPA since April 2019. In an SPA meeting in January, Kim Jong-un called for revising the constitution at the next parliamentary meeting, and raised the need to remove unification-related clauses and clarify the nation's territorial boundaries, including the maritime border. The SPA is the highest organ of state power under the North's constitution, but it actually only rubber-stamps decisions by the ruling Workers' Party. Source: Yonhap News Agency
