The SPA plays the role of a rubber-stamp parliament for decisions made at the highest levels of the party.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SPA has usually convened every year in March or April, but North Korea has held SPA sessions twice a year in 2012 and 2014, and again in 2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe session will likely prioritize discussion on construction projects in Pyongyang. Kim Jong Un\u2019s recent order to build the Pyongyang General Hospital by Oct. 10 means that schedules of other construction projects in the city will have to change. Decisions related to these schedule changes will likely be made during the session,\u201d another Pyongyang-based source told Daily NK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SPA session may also announce changes in the State Affairs Commission, the country\u2019s highest decision-making body. In particular, the replacement of former Organization and Guidance Department head Ri Man Gon, who was recently dismissed on charges of corruption, may be announced at the meeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korea\u2019s move to go ahead with the SPA meeting stands in sharp contrast to restrictions on movement and gatherings in the country as part of efforts to combat COVID-19. The country has already skipped celebrations for Army Day (Feb. 8) and cancelled a mass rally for Kim Jong Il\u2019s birthday (Feb. 16).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have to convene the SPA because North Korea\u2019s official story thus far is that not one case of COVID-19 infection has occurred in the country,\u201d the Pyongyang-based source said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>*Translated by Violet Kim<\/p>\n<p><i>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/%E5%8C%97-%EC%B5%9C%EA%B3%A0%EC%9D%B8%EB%AF%BC%ED%9A%8C%EC%9D%98-%EB%8C%80%EC%9D%98%EC%9B%90%EB%93%A4%EC%97%90-%EB%82%B4%EB%8B%AC-45%EC%9D%BC-%ED%8F%89%EC%96%91-%EB%8F%84%EC%B0%A9-%EC%A7%80\/\">Read in Korean<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily NK sources have reported that Supreme People\u2019s Assembly (SPA) representatives must arrive in Pyongyang between Apr. 4 and Apr. 5.\u00a0 \u201cThese representatives have been assigned lodgings at the Haebangsan Hotel in Pyongyang\u2019s Central District and the Ponghwasan Hotel in the Moranbong District,\u201d a Pyongyang-based source told Daily NK on Monday.\u00a0 \u201cMy understanding from what [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":171,"featured_media":44252,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67,681],"tags":[763,907],"class_list":["post-44251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-politics","tag-covid-19","tag-state-affairs-commission"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v28.8) -
