Kim Jong Un emphasized the need for full integration of conventional armed forces with nuclear potential, which should create an army capable of resisting any form of external aggression and reliably guaranteeing the future of the North Korean regime.
Economic independence and foreign policy vectors
In domestic politics, Kim Jong Un continues the course of economic "self-reliance," using methods of mass mobilization of the population. Currently, the North Korean economy shows some signs of recovery due to increased trade with China and large-scale arms supplies to Russia to support its war efforts in Ukraine.
Analysts note that close cooperation with Moscow has given Pyongyang confidence in regional politics and deepened confrontation with the United States and Seoul, which became the key backdrop for the current party congress.
