North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been re-elected as President following a session of the country's Supreme People's Assembly. He was confirmed with 99.93 percent of the vote, while the voter turnout rate was 99.99 percent.
The meeting being held in Pyongyang is considering amendments to the socialist constitution, as well as issues related to the formation of state leadership bodies. At the same time, the country's new five-year economic plan is also being discussed.
Currently, attention is focused on the possibility of Kim Jong Un enshrining his policy of "two hostile states" towards South Korea at the constitutional level. He has indicated in recent years that he has abandoned the idea of unifying the two countries.
Furthermore, his sister Kim Yo Jong was not seen in the composition of the State Affairs Commission. Experts explain this not as a decline in her influence, but rather as a redistribution of duties.
