온포인트: 김정은, 전원회의서 '전쟁준비 완성 박차' 전투과업 제시
North Korea is in the middle of its year-end key plenary meeting, reflecting on 2023 and planning for 2024.
On the second day of the meeting on Wednesday, the leader Kim Jong-un apparently proposed a "militant task that would speed up war preparations."
Let's turn to Dr. Mark Barry for more.
Welcome back, Dr. Barry.
1. Kim reportedly called 2023 "a year of great turn and change".
He also proposed a "militant task that would accelerate war preparations."
What do you think he means by this?
2. It’s highly likely Kim Jong-un will deliver a message at the end of the key plenary meeting or even a New Year message.
What kind of policy directions do you expect to come out of such a speech?
3. We should probably expect messages to South Korea and the U.S. to be not so friendly this time, right?
4. Next year, in 2024, Kim Jong-un also turns 40.
And it'll be 12 years since he took power.
Any thoughts here?
5. What about the North's Supreme People's Assembly on January 15th?
It's the regime's rubber-stamp parliament where they discuss the state budget and related issues.
What are your expectations from that meeting?
Dr. Barry, thank you for your insight.
Enjoy your evening.
