As North Korea had announced, it held a Supreme People's Assembly meeting and said it had revised the constitution.

However, it did not disclose whether the "deletion of unification" ordered by Chairman Kim Jong-un was reflected.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Lee Jong Won!

The North Korean Supreme People's Assembly was held for two days, so please tell me the details.

[Reporter]
The Korean Central News Agency reported that the 11th meeting of the 14th Supreme People's Assembly was held at the Mansudae Capitol in Pyongyang for two days from the day before (7th) to revise some of the socialist constitution.

North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly is the organization corresponding to our National Assembly.

The Supreme People's Assembly was expected to amend the constitution in January as Kim Jong-un ordered the removal of expressions related to "unification" and the establishment of new "territorial" provisions.

After Chairman Kim defined inter-Korean relations as "two hostile countries" at the end of last year, he is leaving the process of institutionalizing them.

Today, however, the North Korean media covered the news of the constitutional amendment but made no mention of it.

In addition, Chairman Kim did not attend the meeting.

Related content has been reflected in the constitutional amendment, but it seems that we will have to wait and see if it has not been disclosed.

However, the news agency said at the meeting that the revision of labor and election age was reflected in the constitutional amendment and that light industry laws and external economic laws were adopted.

Also, at the meeting, the defense minister, which is our defense minister, was replaced.

Noh Kwang-cheol, who signed the agreement during the September 19 inter-Korean military agreement in 2018, was reappointed.

In the meantime, North Korea revealed that it conducted additional test fire to verify the performance of 240mm multiple rocket launchers with induction functions ahead of the actual deployment.

Kim Yo-jung, vice chairman of the Workers' Party, and others attended the meeting, claiming that the purpose was to verify the reliability of the automatic shooting system and reconfirm the accuracy of the target for the maximum range of 67 kilometers.
