According to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim “expressed belief that the scientists of the national defence industry and workers of munitions would bolster up the nuclear force in quality and quantity”.
North Korea’s strategic position has been “put on a new high level on the basis of the powerful Juche-based defence industry”, Kim noted.
