North Korea Plans for the Future

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has announced a five year plan designed to grow his country's economy, At a congress of the ruling Workers' Party, Kim also announced that North Korea would refrain from using nuclear weapons unless their sovereignty was threatened. Analysts say the Kim is ruling more like his grandfather (Kim Il Sung) than his father (Kim Jong Un) with this emphasis on growing the economy and speaking publicly of his plans for its growth. The one downside to this line of thinking is that Kim could be held responsible if these plans do not succeed.
