The conference was the first time that Kim Il­sung emerged as a political force.[5] Kim advocated the foundation of the North Korea Bureau so that party activities could be overseen in the north of the country in a situation where the north and south were occupied by the Soviets and the Americans respectively.[3] Kim acceded the chairmanship of the North Korea Bureau some two months after the conference.[5] The Bureau soon became independent of the Seoul­lead Communist Party of Korea,[5] paving the way for a political force in the North.[3] The North Korea Bureau is one in a series of predecessors to the present Workers' Party of Korea. The North Korea Bureau evolved into the Workers' Party of North Korea in August 1946.[5] The present Workers' Party of Korea was not founded until 30 June 1949 when the Workers' Party of North Korea merged with the Workers' Party of South Korea.[6] Celebrations [ edit ] Celebrations include song and dance performances, evening galas, speeches, lectures on revolutionary history and oratorical meetings.[6][7] Floral tributes are laid in front of statues of Kim Il­sung.[5] Special food rations are distributed.[8] This usually includes foodstuffs that are normally A tour guide visiting the Monument in short supply, such as oil and snacks.[9] to Party Founding in Pyongyang around the anniversary Meat is available through the public distribution system.[10] Electricity is provided on the Party Foundation Day, despite shortages.[11] There are live TV broadcasts of ceremonies.[7] The holiday is celebrated throughout the country, though main celebrations take place in the capital, Pyongyang.[6] The city typically hosts processions and a military parade during the day. Attendance in festivities in the capital is counted in the millions.[12] The celebrations have included occasional ceremonial visits of North Korean leaders to the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun. The failure of Kim Jong­un to appear leaders to the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun. The failure of Kim Jong­un to appear in 2014 intensified speculations of his lengthy absence. The tradition has not been very strong, as in comparison to Kim Jong­un, his father Kim Jong­il observed the same tradition only twice.[13][14] North Korea schedules completion of large­scale construction projects to coincide with important anniversaries like the Party Foundation Day.[15] The 1995 50th anniversary of the party, for instance, was met with unveiling of the Monument to Party Founding.[16] The 70th anniversary in 2015 was planned to be celebrated with the completion of a stock breeding base and a power plant: the Sepho Tableland and the Chongchon River Power Plant.[15] The latter was finished by the next month.[17] Banks, offices, retail and government institutions close for the day.[12] Weddings are often organized on the day.[18] See also [ edit ] Public holidays in North Korea North Korea portal Down­with­Imperialism Union Holidays portal References [ edit ] 1. ^ Yonhap News Agency, Seoul (27 December 2002).

  • North Korea's Diplomatic Strategy, 2018
    North Korea’s Diplomatic Strategy, 2018 Mark Tokola 308 | Joint U.S.-Korea Academic Studies With an outbreak of diplomacy under way for the Korean Peninsula, a review of North Korea’s approach to negotiations is timely. A summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in was held on April 27. President Trump has accepted an invitation to meet with Kim Jong-un.1 The secretive nature of the North Korean state makes it difficult to assess how it will engage with and what it expects to gain from talks with the international community—not just with the United States and South Korea, but with China, Japan, Russia, the EU, and others. However, its past behavior, official statements, the testimony of defectors, and the expert opinion of North Korea watchers can provide helpful insights. This chapter presents a brief history of talks and agreements with North Korea prior to the inauguration of Trump, followed by an overview of North Korea’s diplomatic outreach in 2018 to date. It then presents indicators as to what North Korean diplomacy may look like through the rest of the year based on assessments of its stated and implicit objectives—ends it would wish to attain in any event, either through diplomacy or by coercion. I conclude with a list of key upcoming dates and scenarios describing how North Korean diplomacy may play out for the remainder of 2018. North Korea’s recent diplomatic moves mark an abrupt policy change. During 2017, it carried out in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions three test flights of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs); conducted its fifth and sixth underground nuclear tests, the latter being the most powerful to date and almost certainly thermonuclear; threatened an “unimaginable attack” against the United States;2 and officially announced that it would “never give up its nuclear weapons.”3 If North Korea is indeed now willing to negotiate denuclearization with the United States and South Korea, its diplomacy can at least be described as agile.

  • Implications of the 5Th Plenary Meeting of the 7Th Central Committee of The
    ISSUE 214 January 14, 2020 Implications of the 5th Plenary Meeting of the 7th Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea and Prospects for North Korea in 2020 By Jina Kim Research Fellow, KIDA Chairman Kim Jong Un notably did not give a New Year’s address in January 2020. While this was exceptional, there are several possible reasons behind this decision. Formally, Plenary Meetings of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) have been held during states of emergency. On December 31, Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the WPK, reported on the outcomes of the 5th Plenary Meeting of the 7th Central Committee of the WPK, stating that party chairman Kim Jong Un “spoke for seven hours.” There is a precedent for this, as Kim Il Sung did not give a New Year’s address in 1987 following his administrative policy speech on December 30, 1986 to the Supreme People’s Assembly. Similarly, the 5th Plenary Meeting of the 7th Central Committee, which concluded on December 31, 2019, produced important policy decisions and extensive coverage of the relevant details left no need for a supplementary New Year’s address. The Plenary Meeting presented the slogan for the new year and key agenda items for the political, social, economic, and military sectors. As these are typically included in New Year’s addresses, North Korea may have deemed it unnecessary to repeat them. Further, in consideration of the current circumstances, bypassing the New Year’s address may have been a strategic choice. Chairman Kim Jong Un’s proposal to resume negotiations by the end of the year failed to result in meaningful action from either side.
