The newscasting on the Defence Development Exhibition Self-Defence 2021, which demonstrated to the whole world the inexhaustible military power of Juche Korea, gains greater momentum as the days go by.

The world media outlets devoted broad coverage to some contents of the commemorative speech delivered by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un at the opening ceremony of the exhibition with such headlines as “Leader Kim Jong Un describes war itself as arch-enemy of DPRK” and “Leader Kim Jong Un promises to build an invincible army to defend country”.

Running features under such titles as “General Secretary Kim Jong Un points out the US is cause of tense situation” and “Leader Kim Jong Un stresses possessing matchless military capability is invariable priority policy”, the leading media outlets of China and Russia reported that the recent exhibition which was held for the first time in the DPRK’s history is drawing the attention of the international community.

Such western media outlets as BBC and National Interest and others in South Africa, Cuba, Venezuela and elsewhere gave wide coverage to the policy speech, saying that Leader Kim Jong Un indubitably indicated his will to build up national defence in his speech. Citing the remarks of an analyst, a Brazilian media organization commented that the military power of the DPRK has developed into that no country would dare challenge.

Then, how could the country possess such an invincible power of self-defence?

Today’s strongest military power achieved by the DPRK is the precious fruition brought about by the tireless efforts of Kim Jong Un who braved the rough road of adversities by risking his life to provide a powerful treasured sword for defending peace with his unrivalled courage and will.

That is why numerous netizens in different countries around the world posted articles in succession on the theme of “Leader Kim Jong Un is really nice”, “The north Korean leader is a patriot who loves the country passionately” and “We are eager to be led by the north Korean leader”, making the internet space bubble with the enthusiasm of warm respect and praise for Kim Jong Un.
