Changes included dropping the word "Socialist" from the "Socialist Constitution". The SPA also passed "unanimous" resolutions on the state budget and the new five-year strategy decided at the 9th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea held in February 2026. Premier Pak Thae-song also delivered a report on the work of the cabinet. Kim Jong Un gave a speech during the meeting. He devoted most of his speech to domestic policy issues. He called for establishing North Korea's first "police" force by reorganizing the Ministry of Social Security, stating "Establishing a police system is an essential requirement of state operation, and originally the word ‘police’ itself is not a bad thing". He said he wanted to "subdivide and specialize the spheres of legal struggle in order to carry out public security maintenance work at a higher level" to "clearly demarcate the boundaries of work among legal organs domestically” and ensure smooth coordination". He called on inminban to more vigilantly report "anti-socialist phenomena", and identified "avoidance of responsibility, self-protectionism, formalism, lack of scientific rigor … bureaucratism and abuse of authority" as social problems. Regarding the economy, Kim promoted his 20x10 Policy and said the government would build 370,000 new homes across the country, including 80,000 in mining towns in the next four years. He also promised "regular guarantee of rest and vacations for working people" as well as more tourist resorts. He also declared North Korea was working to fix healthcare and population growth issues.Zwirko Colin 2026-03-24 Kim Jong Un denounces US as ‘terrorist’ state in apparent reference to Iran war https://www.nknews.org/?p=969356 2026-03-24 NK News en-US Kim declared that "our state is no longer a country that is threatened" and that it "possesses the strength (nuclear weapons) to threaten others if necessary".
