Believed evidence of action. Kim Jong Un said that under the current unstable situation on the Korean peninsula, correspondingly to continuously strengthen military power is the requirement of the times of the revolution, and it is also the supreme responsibility for the revolution and the future.
Kim Jong-un said that in today’s world, with the rapid development of military technology and weapons and equipment, the style of military operations and the security environment of countries in various regions have changed. The current military tensions surrounding the Korean peninsula pose a completely different military danger to North Korea than it was 10, 5, or even 3 years ago. Whether in a peaceful environment or in a confrontational situation, building a strong military power is the basic self-defense right, obligation, and core national policy of a sovereign country. Continuously strengthening the building without fear of any country’s military power is the party’s most important policy, goal and firm will. . “Continuously strengthening the building of military power is the requirement of the revolutionary era, and it is also our responsibility.”
Kim Jong-un criticized in his speech: “The United States and South Korea talked about peace, cooperation and prosperity face to face. On the other hand, they said they conducted various military exercises against threats. Regarding North Korea’s research and development of weapons as a “provocation”, this hypocritical double standard is very dangerous, and North Korea deeply regrets and will never tolerate it. In the future, the North Korean side will definitely take effective measures to respond to any further acts that undermine North Korea’s right to self-defense.”
Kim Jong-un said that the United States still uses wrong judgments and actions to trigger regional tensions. What is certain is that the turbulence on the Korean peninsula will not be easily eliminated because of the United States. “There are many people in this world, but not many stupid people. Who would believe that the United States is not hostile to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea? If some people or countries really believe it, I would be curious about those people and countries.” But he said at the same time. , North Korea’s main enemy is the war itself, not specific countries or forces such as South Korea and the United States. The North Korean side is not aiming at the South Korean side to increase its defense capabilities, and the tragic history of the same nation using each other’s force on the peninsula should not be repeated. “We cannot rely on momentary impulses and feelings, or judge the current situation subjectively, but should deal with the situation calmly and accurately.” “As long as South Korea does not insist on making troubles against us and does not violate our sovereignty exercise, I Assure you that things that will intensify tension on the Korean peninsula will never happen.”
