North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was reappointed as president of state affairs, as reported by the state media outlet KCNA on Monday.

The first session of the Supreme People's Assembly convened in Pyongyang on Sunday, where discussions centered around constitutional amendments and the election of key leadership roles. This legislative body, known as a rubber-stamp institution, typically meets to formalize policy decisions made at the ruling Workers' Party Congress.

The assembly is also set to review the economic five-year plan introduced at the ninth party congress in February, according to KCNA reports.
