In addition to electing the leadership, deputies considered personnel issues and changes to state bodies.
Discussed constitutional changes and the economy
The meeting also discussed amendments to the DPRK's socialist constitution, as well as other issues of state administration.
Special attention was paid to the five-year economic plan, which was previously announced at the Workers' Party congress.
The Supreme People's Assembly traditionally convenes after party congresses to enshrine adopted decisions at the legislative level. Thus, Kim Jong Un's re-appointment confirms the preservation of his full control over the country's political system.
