It is our firm political and military stance and our invariable task and duty to develop the nuclear counterattack posture indefinitely, said the general secretary of the Workers’ Party and chairman of the State Affairs Committee on a visit to the Nuclear Weapons Institute.
The also supreme commander of the People’s Army remarked that the security situation on the North Korean Peninsula is among the most unstable in the world, so the DPRK should continue to strengthen its nuclear shield and prepare for a long conflict with hostile forces.
In September last year, the DPRK showed, for the first time, images of a uranium enrichment facility on the occasion of Kim’s visit.
On that occasion, as now, the leader affirmed that the Asian nation needed to strengthen its nuclear deterrent in the face of growing threats from the United States and its allies.
In this regard, he called for concentrating efforts to increase the number of centrifuges for uranium enrichment and in general to increase the production of weapons-grade nuclear materials for self-defense.
