SEOUL – North Korea will convene two key meetings, adding one to review the country’s anti-epidemic policy, in the coming weeks, state media reported on August’s MondayArray 8, as it has not reported any new cases of Covid-19 since last July.
North Korea’s Supreme People’s Assembly (ASP), the remote state’s parliament, will meet on Sept. 7 to discuss the law on rural progress and organizational affairs, according to the KCNA official.
In addition, North Korea will hold an emergency anti-epidemic review national assembly in early August “to verify the new direction” of its policy.
The COVID-19 assembly comes as North Korea said last week that all of its fever patients have recovered, marking the end of its first wave of the coronavirus pandemic since admitting to the virus outbreak in mid-May.
The lonely country has never shown the number of other people infected with covid-19, but said around 4. 77 million fever patients have fully recovered and 74 have died since the end of April.
North Korea’s parliament rarely meets and is used to pass decisions on issues created by the tough Workers’ Party, whose members make up the vast majority of the assembly.
The resolution to convene parliament was taken at a plenary assembly of the SPA’s state committee on Sunday, KCNA said.
At the weekend meeting, participants passed the Drugs Act to identify a “strict system” for publicizing public health, among other issues.
Other issues on the table included revising the Aerospace Development Act “to extra legalize activities” at the cash register and passing the “Self-Protection Act” to identify what it calls “a self-management formula for all” to people’s lives and lives. ownership, KCNA said, without elaborating.
Space launches have long been a sensitive issue on the Korean peninsula, where North Korea faces sanctions over its nuclear-armed ballistic missile program.
In March, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for expanding his area rocket launch to advance his area ambitions, after South Korea and the United States accused him of testing a new intercontinental ballistic missile under the pretext of area development.
