Factbox-What to watch at North Korea’s Ninth Party Congress

The Congress comes as leader Kim Jong Un has stepped up weapons development and factory inspections, while deepening ties with Russia amid sustained tension with South Korea and the United States. The decision to convene the event was approved at a plenary meeting in June, when state media said the party agreed to hold the Ninth Congress but did not set a date. State media KCNA later reported that the party’s Politburo adopted a decision to open the Congress in Pyongyang in late February 2026. The Congress is the party’s top decision-making forum and is expected to review the past five years and set the governing line for the next phase, spanning the economy, defence and diplomacy. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
