‘Covered’ by his country’s largest missiles, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un declared in a speech at the Defense Development Exhibition that North Korea’s enemy is not “a certain country”, like South Korea or United States, and stressed that Pyongyang only defends its self-defense rights. “Our enemy is war as such“, it manifested.
In his speech, Kim Jong-un referred to the threats that the North Korean government perceives in the hostility of the US and the hypocrisy of South Korea. In this regard, he accused Seoul of “double standards” for continuing to increase its military capabilities while speaking of “peace, cooperation and prosperity.”
Surrounded by a wide variety of weapons, including domestically made ICBMs Hwasong-16, the largest in Pyongyang, the North Korean leader stated that they have no plans to unleash a war and that they are not discussing such an outcome “with anyone.” Likewise, he stressed that all the military arsenals are needed “to prevent war as such and to literally increase the deterrence of war to protect national sovereignty.”
In addition to the Hwasong-16s, the military exhibit features a “hypersonic” missile recently developed by North Korea. The event, which was held to commemorate the 76th anniversary of the founding of the Workers’ Party, also featured an aerial military aviation ‘show’.
“We have to be strong for our descendants. We have to be fronts first, “concluded Kim Jong-un, whose full speech was picked up by the Korea Central Telegraphic Agency (KCNA).
