North korea: North Korea will elect representatives to its parliament, the Supreme People's Assembly, later this month, state media said Wednesday, as a follow-up step after a recent party congress. The election of representatives to the 15th Supreme People's Assembly will be held on March 15, the Korean Central News Agency said, citing a decision by the parliamentary standing committee.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the formation of a new parliament will follow a weeklong congress of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea held last month, which is the country's highest decision-making body, where the North laid out key policy goals for the next five years.
