In this article, we would like to introduce the latest developments in the DPRK from the following four points:
The first is that Kim Jong-un has asked police chiefs across the country to do their best to protect the security of the system. The second is Kim Jong-un's frequent inspections of military enterprises; the third is the visit of DPRK scientists to Russia; Fourth, Kim Jong-un and his beloved daughter Kim Ju-ae attended the completion ceremony of the avant-garde street.

The first is that Kim Jong-un has asked the heads of police stations across the country to do their best to protect the security of the system.
Kim Jong Un said in a group photo with participants attending a meeting of the heads of police stations (sub-stations) across the country on May 5, 2024, that the chiefs and security officers of police stations closest to the lives of the people should be the sharpest blades of the resolute struggle against all factors that infringe on the socialist motherland based on a high degree of revolutionary and class principles.
Kim Jong-un called the police station the direct implementation unit of the social security policy and the basic stronghold of the people, and instructed that the police station should become a fortress to protect the survival and development of the country and a bulletproof wall to protect the people.
The police station (sub-station) is the most basic institution of the Ministry of Social Security of the DPRK, which carries out the tasks of maintaining law and order and protecting people's lives and property. North Korea held a nationwide meeting of police chiefs from April 30 to May 1, 2024, the first meeting in 12 years since November 2012.
On May 2, 2024, officials from South Korea's Unification Ministry said the meeting aimed at rallying the loyalty of grassroots organizations to Kim Jong-un and strengthening internal unity.

The second is Kim Jong-un's frequent inspections of military enterprises.
Recently, Kim Jong-un inspected the production site of multiple rocket launchers. He spoke highly of the automated production system and product quality of the rocket launcher vehicle, and called for continuous improvement of quality and increment to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the artillery. He stressed the need to continuously improve the level of modernization of production processes, improve the performance of launch vehicles, and expand production. He also test-drove a new 240-mm rocket launcher at the scene.
Recently, Kim Jong Un visited a sniper firearm manufacturer to inspect the performance of newly developed weapons such as sniper rifles, expressed great concern for the newly developed sniper rifles, and praised the research and development personnel.
On May 10, 2024, Kim Jong-un observed the test launch of guided rockets produced by a number of defense industry enterprises after learning about the updated and iterative 240-mm rocket artillery weapon system. The eight rockets fired accurately hit the target.
Kim Jong Un discussed ways to further accelerate the DPRK's national defense and economic work and upgrade the production of rocket and artillery weapon systems and controllable rocket and artillery shells to the highest level, and put forward important tasks and directions.
According to reports, the North Korean army will soon undergo major changes in the strengthening of artillery combat effectiveness, and plans to replace equipment between 2024 and 2026, and gradually deploy new 240 mm caliber multiple rocket launchers for the South Korean metropolitan area, which is expected to be completed by 2026.
On May 14, 2024, Kim Jong Un inspected the newly installed tactical missile weapon system of the Joint Missile Unit, which is responsible for the Korean People's Army's important firepower strike mission. According to reports, the relevant military industrial enterprises have completed the production plan for the first half of this year and will complete the production plan of the DPRK's tactical missile weapon system by the end of this year. The joint forces of the Western Combat Group of the Korean People's Army will be equipped with missile launchers produced in the first half of the year.

The third is the visit to Russia by a delegation of DPRK scientists.
On May 13, 2024, a delegation led by Ri Chung-gil, chairman of the State Science and Technology Commission of the DPRK, took a flight to Russia in Pyongyang. The delegation will attend the eighth meeting of the Scientific and Technological Subcommittee of the Intergovernmental Committee on Economic, Trade and Scientific and Technological Cooperation between the DPRK and Russia in Moscow.
During the visit, the DPRK delegation will visit Lomonosov Moscow State University, the Russian Hydrometeorological and Environmental Monitoring Service, the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Federal Scientific Center for Food Systems, the Skolkovo Innovation Center and other institutions.
The DPRK delegation consisted of representatives of major research centers, scientific and technological experts and diplomats. The DPRK and Russia will sign a protocol at the meeting to record the consensus reached by the two sides on deepening cooperation in the fields of science and technology, basic research, laws and regulations, etc.
The Russian Embassy in the DPRK proposed that the delegation hold a scientific conference in Pyongyang in September this year to commemorate the first anniversary of the Russian-DPRK summit meeting.
In addition, Li Zhongji will also meet with Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov and other senior Russian government officials.
After the DPRK State Affairs Commission Chairman Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks in September last year, the DPRK and Russia have actively promoted high-level exchanges in various fields.
Yonhap News Agency said that considering that the United Nations Security Council sanctions resolution on North Korea restricts scientific and technological cooperation with North Korea, the visit of the delegation of the North Korean Science and Technology Committee to Russia has also attracted much attention.

Fourth, Kim Jong-un and his beloved daughter Kim Ju-ae attended the completion ceremony of the avant-garde street.
On May 14, 2024, Kim Jong-un attended the completion ceremony of Pyongyang's Qianwei Avenue and cut the ribbon.
In my impression, this is Jin Zhuai's second appearance in two months since his public appearance on March 15, 2024.
On March 15, 2024, Kim Jong Un and Kim Ju-ai attended the ceremony for the completion and commissioning of the Gangdong Comprehensive Greenhouse. In its report, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) used the expression "The great guides visited the Gangdong comprehensive greenhouse with leading cadres of the party, government, and military." The phrase "great guides" has always been used only for the supreme leader of the DPRK, and the official media of the DPRK used the term "great guides" to include Kim Ju-ae, and suddenly raised Kim Ju-ae to the position of the supreme leader of the DPRK.
The appearance of Kim Ju-ae dispelled people's suspicions - it turned out that she did not fall out of favor - after becoming a public figure, once she did not appear for a while, all kinds of suspicions immediately appeared, which is one of the reasons why Kim Jong-un frequently inspected and appeared on camera.
