PYONGYANG, 27 April 2022, (TON): Kim Jong Un said while overseeing a vast military parade “North Korea will rapidly accelerate development of its nuclear arsenal.”
Despite biting sanctions, North Korea has doubled down on Kim’s military modernisation drive, test-firing a slew of banned weapons this year while ignoring US offers of talks, as analysts warn of a likely resumption of nuclear tests.
State media reported “dressed in white military uniform trimmed with gold brocade, Kim watched as tanks, rocket launchers and his largest ICBMs were paraded through Pyongyang late Monday for the founding anniversary of North Korea’s armed forces.”
According to a transcript of his speech at the event “Kim vowed to “strengthen and develop our nation’s nuclear capabilities at the fastest pace.”
Repeated negotiations aimed at convincing Kim to give up his nuclear weapons programmes have come to nothing, and he warned “he could use his atomic arsenal if North Korea’s “fundamental interests” were threatened.”
