North Korean leader Kim Jong Un put the economy front and centre of an agenda-setting speech at the end of a key ruling-party meeting, state media reported Saturday, with no mention of the United States.

SEOUL, South Korea — Instead of the policy positions on diplomacy for which Kim’s New Year statements have been closely watched in recent years, he focused on food and development at a plenary of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

“Achieving an epoch-making step in resolving issues related to the people’s daily necessities was presented as an important task,” the official Korea Central News Agency said in a report on Kim’s speech. Concerns have grown about a full-blown food crisis in the country, and a United Nations human rights expert warned in October that the most vulnerable were “at risk of starvation”.

“Emergency anti-epidemic measures must be placed as a top national priority and be vigorously carried out… without even a minor slack, gap or loophole,” he said according to KCNA.While the leader did not mention the United States or South Korea directly, he briefly said Pyongyang would continue to build up its military capabilities.
