New N. Korean stamps push propaganda line to “break through” sanctions hardships

Five new stamps follow Kim Jong Un’s new year plenum speech, focus on countering sanctions and other top 2020 policies

North Korean state media released details of five new stamps in recent days which follow leader Kim Jong Un’s new year plenum speech and the slogans and themes of recently-released propaganda posters for nationwide use, though with more explicit mention of sanctions.

The stamps are in commemoration of the 5th Plenary Meeting of 7th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) held from December 28-31, and each features an image of the WPK headquarters building and the WPK emblem.
