N. Korea to elect representatives to Supreme People's Assembly this month following key party congress
By Park Boram
SEOUL, March 4 (Yonhap) -- North Korea will elect representatives to its parliament, the Supreme People's Assembly, later this month, state media said Wednesday, as a follow-up step after a recent party congress.
The election of representatives to the 15th Supreme People's Assembly will be held on March 15, the Korean Central News Agency said, citing a decision by the parliamentary standing committee.
The formation of a new parliament will follow a weeklong congress of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea held last month, which is the country's highest decision-making body, where the North laid out key policy goals for the next five years.
