N Korea hails N-programme as it opens party congress

PYONGYANG: **rth Korea opened the first congress of its ruling Workers’ party in 36 years on Friday, with Kim Jong Un expected to further consolidate his control over a country that has grown increasingly isolated over its pursuit of nuclear *******.

Secretive **rth Korea trumpeted "miraculous results" ahead of the event and said advances in nuclear and ballistic missile developments, made in defiance of UN sanctions, were "the greatest gifts" for the rare party congress, but little of substance was revealed.

There was ** word in Pyongyang from official sources about the proceedings other than that the meeting was under way.

**rth Korean state media mentioned that congress would open on Friday but did **t carry details of proceedings as of early evening. The congress opened on a rainy morning.

Covers were hung over the giant portraits of Kim’s grandfather, Kim Il Sung, and father, Kim Jong Il, that adorn Kim Il Sung square in the capital.

Foreign journalists invited to cover the event were **t permitted inside the April 25 House of Culture, the stone structure draped in red party flags where the congress is expected to run for several days.

Foreign analysts expect the third-generation leader of the Kim dynasty to formally adopt his "Byongjin" policy of simultaneously pursuing nuclear ******* and eco**mic development, and to further consolidate his power.

"Kim is after catching two rabbits, a nuclear arsenal and eco**mic development, and he’s likely going to declare the country is a nuclear ******* state, so that’s one rabbit," said Yang Moo-jin of the University of **rth Korean Studies in Seoul.

"He might also lay out a five-year or seven-year blueprint for the development of the people’s eco**my," Yang said.

Kim has aggressively pursued nuclear ******* and ballistic missile tech**logy.

In March, the UN Security Council adopted the latest in a ****** of resolutions toughening sanctions against **rth Korea, which conducted its fourth nuclear ******* test in January.

Giant neighbour China, the **rth’s lone major ally, backed the resolutions, growing frustrated over its nuclear tests.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei, asked about the congress at a daily briefing in Beijing, said **rth Korea was at an important stage in its national development.

"We also hope **rth Korea can listen to the voice of the international community, and jointly maintain **rtheast Asia’s lasting peace and stability," Hong said.

Thousands of delegates from around **rth Korea had been expected to attend the first congress to be held since 1980, before the 33-year-old Kim was born.

Security guards in suits and ties surrounded the venue.

The Byongjin policy follows Kim’s father’s Songun, or "military first" policy, and his grandfather’s Juche, the **rth’s home-grown founding ideology that combines Marxism and extreme nationalism.

State radio said the 7th Workers’ party congress would "unveil the brilliant blueprint to bring forward the final victory of our revolution", according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency.

**rth Korean state media has trumpeted a 70-day campaign of intensified productivity in the run-up to the congress, and Pyongyang has been spruced up for the event.

The state-run KCNA news agency cited advances in nuclear and ballistic missile development, crediting military scientists and engineers for accomplishments that are "the greatest gifts" for the party congress.

"Miraculous results were produced," KCNA said, touting production in the industrial sector that achieved 144 percent of target and electricity generation 110 percent, although the actual targets were **t given.
