President Kim Jong Un: H-Bomb Test Self-Defensive Step to Face US Nuclear Threats

PYONGYANG- President Kim Jong Un of the people’s Democratic Republic of Korea (DPRK), has stressed that the country’s H-bomb test, conducted at the outset of the year when the Seventh Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK) is to be held, “is a self-defensive step for reliably defending peace on the Korean Peninsula and the regional security from the danger of nuclear war caused by the U.S.-led imperialists.”

“It is the legitimate right of a sovereign state and a just action that allows no one to slander,” President Kim Jong Un said on Sunday during his congratulatory visit to the Ministry of the People’s Armed Forces on the successful first H-bomb test of Democratic Korea, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

He talked about the complicated situation which the Korean revolution is now facing.

He made an important speech on the main task to be carried out by the Korean People’s Army this year.

The agency reported that President Kim said “it is a general goal of our Party and people for this year to glorify the 7th Congress of the WPK, which will be a historic turning point in accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche, as a glorious meeting of victors and the Party Central Committee pins greatest hope on the People’s Army in carrying out this heavy and responsible task.

He went on to say “let us defend the 7th Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea by strengthening the political and military might of the People’s Army in every way!”–this is the militant slogan the People’s Army should uphold this year.”
