|
Ho Ryung Lee, Senior Research Fellow at KIDA, analyzes the achievements of the 8th Congress of the North Korea’s Workers' Party and forecasts the 9th Congress. The author identifies the greatest achievements of the 8th Congress as national defense (enhancement of nuclear and missile capabilities) and diplomacy vis-à-vis Russia and China. Dr. Lee assesses that the upcoming 9th Congress will likely emphasize a ‘victory and accomplishments’ narrative. |
