North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his army needs “to completely destroy” The United States and South Korea should be provoked, according to reports by the state media of jinn on Monday, after he pledged to reinforce national protection to confront, as he said, the unprecedented American confrontation.
At a five-day party meeting last week, Kim Jong Un said he would launch three additional military spying satellites, produce more nuclear material and produce offensive fears this year. Observers say these warnings are efforts to increase its weight in relation to the United States and diplomatic commitments in the future.
During Sunday's meeting with top military officials, the Korean leader said that urgently he must sharpen his precious “x1> to preserve national security, referring to his country's programme for nuclear weapons production. He cited “the confrontational movements of the United States and other hostile military forces”, according to the official Korean news agency KCNA.
Kim Jong Un stressed that our <x0 military should give a deadly blow and completely destroy them, using the strongest means without any guesses”, if they choose military confrontation and provocations against North Korea, according to the KCNA.
In New Year's speech Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said he would reinforce the country's military capacity to launch pre-emptive attacks as well as missile defence and other revenge capacities in response to the North Korean nuclear threat.
The Republic of Korea is building a real, long-term peace through power, not through a humiliating peace that depends on the good will of the enemy”, President Yoon said in his address to the country.
At the party meeting, Kim Jong Un called South Korea “a flawed country and a sub-entioned colonial state” whose society is “Dutted with American culture”. He said his army should use all available means, including nuclear weapons, to capture the entire territory of South Korea” in the event of conflict.
The South Korean Defence Ministry warned Sunday that if North Korea tries to use nuclear weapons, American and South Korean forces will hit it hard, ending the rule of leader Kim Jong Un.
According to North Korean official news agency, North Korean officials met on Monday to enforce the country's leader's order Kim Jong Un to dismantle or reform organisations, which manage relations with South Korea to change the basic principle and leadership of the North Korean Battle Against South. It is unclear how this can affect the relationship between the two Koreas, which has long stalled.
Experts say low-scale military clashes could be expected this year between North Korea and South Korea along their fortified border. They say North Korea is expected to continue long-range missile testing, which can reach United States territory and other new weapons.
In 2018-2019, Kim Jong held three meetings with American President Trump, which discussed the expansion of North Korea's nuclear arsenal. Diplomatic efforts failed after the United States rejected the jinn's proposal to destroy the main nuclear complex -- a limited step -- in exchange for a wide ease of US sanctions.
Since 2022, North Korea has conducted over 100 missile tests, encouraging America and South Korea to expand joint military exercises. North Korea has also made efforts to further draw China and Russia, which blocked efforts by the United States and their partners at the UN Security Council to toughen UN sanctions on North Korea due to missile tests and other weapons.
According to the KCNA, President Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged messages for New Year's Eve on Monday to strengthen bilateral relations. There are doubts that North Korea has supplied conventional weapons to Russia for the war in Ukraine in exchange for sophisticated Russian technologies to improve military programmes.
The estimates on North Korea's nuclear arsenal are different, ranging from 2030 bombs to over 100. Many foreign experts estimate that North Korea still has some technological obstacles in its long-range, functional nuclear missile production efforts, though short-range actions can hit South Korea and Japan. / VOA
