Kim Jong-un calls for ‘big leap forward’ at congress
Bloomberg
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un issued a dire warning at the nation’s first ruling party congress in five years, saying that development plans fell far short of their goals and the party would explore a “new path” for making a “big leap forward.”
The days-long 8th Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea convened to draft a new economic plan began shortly after Kim skipped his usual New Year’s Day address.
In opening remarks on Tuesday, Kim said the party’s previous five-year development plan, which ended last year, missed its targets due to both “internal and external challenges,” the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
