The plenary meeting was held on Feb. 2, according to state-run media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The joint order calls for the strengthening of the management system for secrets by subdividing and reorganizing secret document ratings, adopting and improving the electronic management of documents for internal and external use, grading people who can store, read and take documents, and improving the protection and encryption of state secrets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agencies that deal with classified documents and related workplaces have responded by beginning preparations to carry out the joint order, while judiciary agencies and the Workers&#8217; Party&#8217;s Justice Department plan to write additional legal rules and regulations regarding the new law within two weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the people\u2019s committee of Pyongyang is reportedly establishing administrative policies to furnish the city with a state-approved electronic management system for secret documents, as well as taking other relevant measures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily NK&#8217;s source said the joint order calls for the authorities to \u201cuse the opportunity to make all members of society understand that everything from party, state, military and military industry secrets to trivial things in life such as instructions to neighborhood watch units, and the price of items in markets and households are state secrets,\u201d and that \u201cpeople who want to know about them are undoubtedly spies.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The joint order provides a glimpse to the extent in which North Korean authorities want to prevent any domestic information from leaking overseas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Translated by David Black.
