Pyongyang, October 5 (Xinhua) — Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) called for a steady increase in the country's military capabilities in response to national security threats at the opening ceremony of a military equipment exhibition on Saturday, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Sunday.
Speaking at the "National Defense Development 2025" exhibition, Kim Jong-un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK, noted that the exhibition showcases the latest results of important projects aimed at modernizing the country's defense capabilities, which are based on nuclear deterrence.
He emphasized that the country must not allow its defense progress to slow down under any circumstances. "Our military capabilities must constantly improve," Kim Jong-un stated.
He said the various types of exercises conducted by the United States under the so-called nuclear operational guidelines pose a "real and serious threat to the security of our country and other states in the region."
The DPRK is closely monitoring US actions, including the deployment of strategic strike and reconnaissance assets on and around the Korean Peninsula, as well as their mobilization for hostile military actions, the leader noted, adding that the country has already taken "concrete measures."
“If the United States continues to take dangerous steps to build up its military power while ignoring the security concerns of countries in the region, such actions will only encourage us to implement relevant military and technological measures with even greater determination to address new threats and maintain the balance of power,” Kim Jong Un said. –0–
