North Korea’s ruling party to meet amid ‘tense situation’: state media 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersSEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea will hold a plenary session of its ruling party’s central committee on Wednesday, a day after leader Kim Jong Un chaired a politburo meeting to discuss ways to make progress under the “prevailing tense situation”, state media reported. The ruling party officials will gather to “discuss and decide the new orientation and ways of struggle in line with the need of the prevailing revolutionary situation,” state news agency KCNA said on Wednesday. Wednesday’s ruling party plenary session comes as South Korean President Moon Jae-in flies to Washington to meet with Trump and try to jumpstart talks between North Korea and the United States. “North Korea is targeting the U.S., sending a message that we will not back down, so the U.S. must change its stance.”
