North Korea opened a high-profile political conference to discuss how to overcome “harsh trials and difficulties," state media reported Sunday, Dec. 29, 2019, days before a year-end deadline set by Pyongyang for Washington to make concessions in nuclear negotiations.
The ruling Workers’ Party meeting is a focus of keen attention as some observers predict North Korea might use the conference to announce it would abandon faltering diplomacy with the U.S. and lift its moratorium on major weapons test. The meeting is intended to “overcome the manifold and harsh trials and difficulties and further accelerate the development of the revolution with transparent anti-imperialist independent stand and firm will,” KCNA said.KCNA said Kim made a speech on overall state affairs and the work of the Central Committee, but gave no further details.
After his second summit with President Donald Trump in February in Vietnam failed, Kim gave the U.S. until the end of this year to offer new initiatives to salvage the nuclear negotiations. North Korea has recently warned that its resumption of tests of long-range missiles and nuclear devices depends on U.S. action.
