Since its founding, the WPK has held eight congresses, with the general policy of firmly affirming the principle that the WPK is the sole ruling and leading party; focusing on building a clean and strong Party through strengthening solidarity and unity within the Party, further consolidating the Party organization at the grassroots level, fundamentally improving the form and method of information and ideological education of the Party in the direction of being close to the people and close to reality.

At the 8th National Congress of the WPK held in January 2021, the DPRK affirmed the spirit of "self-reliance, self-sufficiency" and required the construction of a stable, independent economy with a roadmap, focusing on developing the metallurgical and chemical industries, and attaching importance to agricultural development.
Following the guidelines set out at the 8th Party Congress of the WPK, the DPRK has focused on socio-economic development through a “people-centered” policy, continuing to prioritize solving the people's urgent livelihood issues such as housing and food.
