Seoul, Dec 28 : North Korean leader Kim Jong-un could skip a New Year’s Day address this week as it was likely that he could unveil policy directions at a ruling Workers’ Party Congress, experts said on Monday.
Kim has delivered a televised address to the nation on January 1 almost every year since he came to power in 2011 during which he unveils his annual policy plans, reports Yonhap News Agency.
Kim, however, skipped such an annual address this year.
“Rather than repeating what he has to say twice, he would think that it would be effective to focus his entire message on the upcoming party congress,” said Kim Yong-hyun, a North Korean studies professor at Dongguk University.
