During the sixth day of the 9th congress of the Workers' Party of North Korea, discussions on various sectors such as economics, national defense, foreign affairs, and party business have intensified. The Korean Workers' Party newspaper reported that the findings from the collective discussions are being compiled for the draft resolution committee. Kim Jong-un, the party's General Secretary, has emphasized that this draft will encompass strategic policies for the party's direction over the next five years, indicating that the congress may conclude within the next few days.

Kim's recent remarks highlighted a shift towards a more optimistic approach in the economic strategies discussed, moving from a focus on stabilization and reinforcement, introduced during the last congress in 2021, to a new emphasis on stable consolidation and progressive development. This change suggests that North Korea may feel more confident in its economic achievements over the past five years, transitioning from mere maintenance to aiming for qualitative improvements in various sectors.

In addition, meetings have covered essential modernization projects that are crucial for enhancing the self-reliance of the national economy. The discussions included technical improvements and the push for major projects in the capital and regional development policies. By aligning actions across all sectors, the party aims to coordinate efforts effectively to achieve its developmental goals, showcasing a structured approach towards the nation’s economic challenges in the upcoming five-year planning period.
