North Korea convened the fifth session of the 13th Supreme People's Assembly(SPA) in Pyongyang on Tuesday amid reports that it has completed preparations for a sixth nuclear test.
 
Attention is being drawn to whether the country’s leader Kim Jong-un will deliver a message related to the North’s nuclear ambitions as the session is the first of its kind to be held since the launch of the Trump administration in the U.S. and tensions are heightened due to the possibility of the North conducting another nuclear test.
 
During the fifth session of the 12th SPA in April 2012, the North amended its Constitution to state in the preamble that North Korea is a nuclear power.
 
The SPA is largely considered as a rubber-stamp organization for the North’s ruling Workers’ Party of Korea.
