Intent to strengthen North Korea’s nuclear arsenal Kim Jong Unduring his speech on the occasion of the anniversary and the military parade in Pyongyang, was broadcast today by the official news agency of the country KCNA.
Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) were displayed at the parade to mark the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People’s Army, the North Korean Armed Forces. The head of state delivered his speech in Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang.
“We will continue to take measures to strengthen and develop our country’s nuclear capabilities at a faster pace,” he said.
“They can be used if our fundamental interests are threatened”
THE North Korea There are very harsh international sanctions because of its plans to develop nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. Negotiations to persuade Pyongyang to abandon its arsenal have been deadlocked for years.
Yesterday (25/4) Kim Jong Un said that his country’s nuclear weapons are “a symbol of its power” and should be differentiated.
“Given the turbulent political and military background and the various crises that are coming (…) we must further increase our strength as quickly as possible,” he insisted. He added that although his country’s nuclear weapons have a primary deterrent role, they could be used if North Korea’s “fundamental interests” are threatened.
Experts expected that this parade would showcase North Korea’s most advanced weapons, especially supersonic rockets and the Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile. The latter, a “monster rocket” as some observers call it, can carry multiple nuclear warheads capable of moving in multiple orbits after re-entering the atmosphere, and was first introduced in October 2020.
The KCNA reported that Hwasong-17, whom Pyongyang claims to have successfully tested on March 24, actually showed up at the parade. However, the agency did not broadcast photos of her.
