Kim Jong Un, the head of North Korea, has said that the country will get “exponentially” more nuclear weapons. This was told on Tuesday by North Korea’s official news agency, KCNA. This is what Kim said in a
speech on Monday, which was North Korea’s birth holiday.
Focus on getting ready for nuclear war.
Kim stressed in his speech that North Korea needs to improve its nuclear power. He said that these weapons should be ready to be used at any time to keep the country safe. Kim also said that to deal with threats from the US and its partners, there needs to be a bigger armed force.
Kim says that North Korea is in a lot of danger because of a military partnership led by the US that is building up its nuclear power in the area. He said that this was a “grave threat” to his country.
Angry words from the US, South Korea, and Japan
Because of this, leaders from Japan, the US, and South Korea got together in Seoul on Tuesday. They spoke out against North Korea’s recent missile tests and its growing number of ways to deliver nuclear weapons. The three countries stressed the need to work together more to keep the peace in the area.
A joint statement from the US State Department says that the officials renewed their promise to work together to stop North Korea from threatening the US with nuclear weapons and missiles. They also decided to hold a second military practice soon, this time with three countries. It
It will be called Freedom Edge.
Working together on defense and the UN Command
South Korea was going to have a meeting with the UN Command (UNC) member states on the same day. The highly guarded border with North Korea is watched over by the UNC, which is led by US soldiers stationed in South Korea. Germany was the most recent country to join the UNC. This shows that Germany will stand by South Korea in case of war.
North Korea said bad things about the UNC and called it an “illegal war organization.” The country was also worried about Germany’s involvement, which it thinks will make things worse.
