The North Korean National Defense Exhibition exhibited weapons and equipment developed in the past five years. Kim Jong-un: Displaying national strength is no less significant than a large-scale military parade.

  [Global Times Special Correspondent in South Korea Maffei Global Times Special Correspondent Han Wen] According to the KCNA report on the 12th, Kim Jong-un, the general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, delivered a speech at the National Defense Development Exhibition celebrating the 76th anniversary of the founding of the Workers’ Party on the 11th, saying that the United States Frequent signals indicate that they are not hostile to North Korea, but there is no convincing evidence of action.

Kim Jong-un said that under the current unstable situation on the Korean Peninsula, correspondingly to continuously strengthen military power is the requirement of the times of the revolution, and it is also the supreme responsibility for the revolution and the future.

  Kim Jong-un said that in today's world, with the rapid development of military technology and weaponry, the style of military operations and the security environment of countries in various regions have changed.

The current military tensions surrounding the Korean peninsula pose a completely different military danger to North Korea than it was 10, 5, or even 3 years ago.

Whether in a peaceful environment or in a confrontational situation, building a strong military power is the basic self-defense right, obligation, and core national policy of a sovereign country. Continuously strengthening the building without fear of any country’s military power is the party’s most important policy, goal and firm will. .

"Continuously strengthening the building of military power is the requirement of the revolutionary era, and it is also our responsibility."

  Kim Jong-un criticized in his speech: “The United States and South Korea talk about peace, cooperation and prosperity face to face. On the other hand, they say that they frequently conduct various military exercises against threats. Regarding North Korea’s research and development of weapons as a “provocation”, this hypocritical double standard is very dangerous, and North Korea deeply regrets this and will never tolerate it. In the future, if there is any violation of North Korea’s right to self-defense, the North Korean side will definitely take effective measures to deal with it."

  Kim Jong Un said that the United States still uses wrong judgments and actions to trigger regional tensions.

What is certain is that the turbulence on the Korean peninsula will not be easily eliminated because of the United States.

"In this world, there are many people and not many stupid people. Who would believe that the United States is not hostile to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? If some people or countries really believe it, I would be curious about those people and countries." But he also said , North Korea’s main enemy is the war itself, not specific countries or forces such as South Korea and the United States.

The North Korean side is not aiming at the South Korean side to increase its national defense capabilities, and the tragic history of the same people using each other's force on the peninsula should not be repeated.

"We cannot rely on momentary impulses and feelings, or judge the current situation subjectively, but should deal with the situation calmly and accurately." "As long as South Korea does not insist on making trouble against us and does not violate our sovereignty exercise, I Assure you that things that will induce aggravation of tension on the Korean peninsula will never happen."

  According to KCNA reports, weapons and equipment developed by North Korea in the past five years were displayed at the exhibition.

Kim Jong-un said that the exhibition is an important event to show national strength, and its significance is no less than a large-scale military parade.

  According to Yonhap News Agency’s report on the 12th, Moon Hongzhi, deputy spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense of South Korea, said at a regular press conference that day that the South Korean and US intelligence agencies are conducting a rigorous analysis and confirmation of the situation related to the defense development exhibition reported by North Korea’s "Rodong Sinmun" that day.

An official from the Ministry of Unification of South Korea responded to Kim Jong-un’s speech at the National Defense Exhibition that day that the South Korean side proposed to resolve relevant differences through dialogue.

The official stated that it is difficult to resolve the issue of relations between South Korea and North Korea based on the position of one party alone.

The South Korean side will narrow differences through dialogue and cooperation based on the various agreements reached between South Korea and North Korea.

The official also stated that this year is not a special year of every five to ten, but the DPRK has commemorated the 76th anniversary of the founding of the party by means of lectures, national defense development exhibitions, etc., which seems to be releasing information both at home and abroad.

The South Korean government will not predict the intentions of the DPRK, and will continue to follow relevant trends and conduct a careful analysis of the information released by the DPRK.

  Venus, the permanent representative of North Korea to the United Nations, also condemned the United States on the 11th local time.

According to Yonhap News Agency, Venus stated at a meeting of the First Committee of the UN General Assembly that the fundamental reason for the deterioration of the situation on the peninsula is the US policy of hostility to North Korea. South Korea-US joint military activities are now not subject to any restrictions and have reached a dangerous level.

He stated that with the increasing military threats from South Korea and the United States to North Korea, “no one can deny that North Korea has the legal right to self-defense to develop weapons systems of the same level.”

Jin Xing added that as long as hostile forces do not use nuclear weapons in the first place, "North Korea, as a responsible nuclear state, will never abuse nuclear weapons."
