SEOUL: North Korea's ruling party has kicked off a major annual meeting with economic policy on the agenda, state media reported on Tuesday.

Instead of a New Year's Day speech, leader Kim Jong Un in recent years has used the year-end plenary meeting of the Workers' Party of Korea as a platform to outline policies in key areas such as diplomacy, security and the economy.
