N. Korea holds party committee meetings to spur efforts to implement policy decisions
SEOUL, April 8 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has convened meetings of ruling party committees under government ministries to discuss the implementation of decisions reached at a parliamentary session last month, state media reported Wednesday.
Ruling party committees established within the rail, transportation, culture and sports ministries, as well as two other state agencies, held expanded plenary meetings to advance pledges made by leader Kim Jong-un during a speech to the Supreme People's Assembly (SPA), the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
The first session of the 15th SPA, held last month, discussed a revision to the country's constitution while pledging to advance its nuclear deterrence and implement policies for the people, among other decisions.
Holding a ruling party congress in February for the first time in five years, the North also outlined a five-year national development plan and has since stepped up efforts to implement it.
The recent party committee meetings discussed draft resolutions in depth on achieving the goals of their respective sectors, the KCNA said.
The land and ocean transportation ministry meeting, in particular, discussed building new seaports and docks and modernizing transportation capacities to speed up the delivery of supplies to construction and other sites.
The party committee meetings at the Pyongyang construction committee and a national science institution discussed domestic production of construction materials and the development of advanced technologies to improve people's lives, respectively.
