North Korea has announced that it will hold the country's key parliamentary meeting in September.
Wednesday's edition of North Korea's ruling party newspaper, the Rodong Sinmun, reported that the Supreme People's Assembly will convene in Pyongyang on September 20. The assembly meets once or twice a year to discuss the national budget, legislative bills, and so forth.
Meanwhile, North Korean media reported on Wednesday that Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, conveyed the foreign policy plan of the supreme leader to senior officials of the Foreign Ministry one day earlier.
Kim Yo Jong reportedly referred to remarks by South Korea's President Lee Jae-myung that his country respects the social system of the North and will not seek any form of unification by absorption. She is reported to have dismissed these remarks as "deceptive" and reiterated the North's stance that South Korea cannot be a diplomatic partner.
In a statement released on Thursday last week, Kim Yo Jong said Pyongyang has no will to improve relations with Seoul and that this stance will be fixed in her country's constitution in the future.
South Korean media outlets have said that a constitutional revision to describe the South as "the primary hostile state" may possibly be discussed at the upcoming parliamentary session.
