North Korean leader Kim Jong Un announced Saturday that his country will continue to reinforce its army, during a huge military parade in which Pyongyang demonstrated its latest defense technologies.

The parade was organized to mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Labor Party in the country that possesses nuclear weapons.

"We will continue to reinforce our army for purposes of self-defense and deterrence," the North Korean leader said in a speech broadcast on state television.

Scenes broadcast by the official "KCTV" channel showed lines of armed soldiers and military vehicles lining the streets of Pyongyang, ready to go to Kim Il Sung Square, the regime's founder.

Kim Jong Un confirmed that there is no "person" infected with the new Corona virus in his country, at a time when the epidemic is spreading all over the world.

He wished "good health for all people around the world who are struggling with the pain" of Covid-19, days after US President Donald Trump was discharged from the hospital, where he stayed for 3 days due to his infection with the virus.

In general, the spotlight is highlighted during the presentation on the type of missiles that Pyongyang wants to show and which is the subject of observers follow-up to get an idea of ​​the development of the North Korean weapons program.

Analysts said North Korea showed off huge new ICBMs, broadcast by state television.

Each missile was loaded onto a vehicle pulling on 22 wheels, while Ankit Panda of the Union of American Scientists said on Twitter that the model was "the largest liquid-fuel mobile missile ever."

Contrary to previous offers, no foreign media was invited.

Many embassies have been closed due to health restrictions, which makes the number of foreign observers limited.

Experts say that North Korea has continued its nuclear and ballistic programs, justifying the US threat, including during negotiations with the United States, which have been stalled for more than a year.

Some experts believe that Pyongyang could offer a new strategic sea-to-surface ballistic missile (MSBS) or an ICBM that could reach the American continent, as well as a missile that includes multiple bodies, allowing the deception of US defense systems. .

In late December, the North Korean leader threatened to offer a "new strategic weapon," but some experts say Pyongyang has no intention of infuriating the White House ahead of the US presidential election.

North Korea expert Rachel Lee, who previously worked for the US administration, said that the display of these strategic weapons "is consistent with Kim Jong Un's promises," as it is less provocative than a military experiment.

The American position

Commenting on North Korea's offer of a new ICBM, a senior US administration official, on Saturday, described the matter as "disappointing" and called for negotiations to achieve complete nuclear disarmament.

The US official said it was disappointing that it continued to prioritize its banned nuclear program and ballistic missiles at the expense of working for a brighter future for the people of North Korea.

He added that the United States calls on North Korea to enter into continuous and serious negotiations to achieve complete nuclear disarmament.
