North Korea said yesterday (18th) that it held a closed meeting with the Central Military Committee of the Party to check its operational stance and discuss key issues to strengthen its deterrence.

Chosun Central Communications said yesterday at the Central Office of the Party's Central Committee that Kim Jong-un was chaired by Chairman Kim Jong-un, and an extended meeting and a closed meeting of the Party's Central Military Committee were held.

The private meeting is aimed at "preparing for the military situation and potential military threats" created around the Korean Peninsula, and "checking the strategic missions and operational mobilization of critical units and discussing key issues to further strengthen the country's deterrence." Said.

Even North Korea's pledge to prepare for potential military threats seems to be the result of a joint US-ROK training that is likely to be carried out soon.

The expression of strengthening the deterrence of war is somewhat restrained compared to the expression of "nuclear war deterrence" used at the meeting in May, but it is interpreted to mean that it encompasses nuclear weapons and conventional weapons.

The news agency later revealed that it had "deliberated and approved key key logistical production planning indicators," suggesting that it would implement plans for the military industry.

Chairman Kim Jong-un signed an order for key tasks, and the correspondence evaluated the decision as "a historical decision to make the future of the Juche revolution more credible with a reliable military force."

Apart from the closed meeting, the expansion meeting emphasizes the political thoughts of the party leaders, and the intention to tackle the military discipline in the corona phase is evident.

The news agency said that during the expansion meeting, "points to the political ideology and a series of issues raised in military affairs" by the People's Army officials were discussed.

He also emphasized that a specific direction and strategy were proposed to "fully arm the new generation of People's Army commanders with the party's revolutionary ideas."

Organizational issues such as dismissal and appointment were also addressed, but details were not disclosed.

According to the news agency, Lee Byung-cheol, Vice-Chairman of the Party's Central Military Commission, commander of the People's Army's military and corps level, political committee members, the General Political Bureau, General Staff, the People's Armed Forces Officer, and the Party's Vice-Chairman of the Central Committee.
