Great Strength

This year the United States and its followers held more than 20 war confabs of all sorts presupposing the use of nuclear weapons against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and ceaselessly staged the anti-DPRK military drills on over 130 occasions to implement them.

The disturbed balance of strategic strength precisely means the outbreak of war and it is proved by the ongoing Middle East situation.

That's why the DPRK thoroughly insists on the just logic of self-reliant defence upbuilding that it should possess tremendous physical strength to always contain the enemy and control the situation.

The more the hostile forces get frantic in their nuclear war drills, the more resolutely the DPRK exercises its right to self-defence in direct proportion to them.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the DPRK, affirmed on October 2, 2024 that "if" the enemy attempt to use their armed forces to encroach upon the sovereignty of our Republic in disregard of our repeated warnings, the DPRK will use without hesitation all the striking forces in its possession, including nuclear weapons.

He stressed that this is not a rhetorical threat, but a realistic prediction of the physical destructive power, which the world people cannot but admit.

We should continue to cultivate our strength and bear in mind again that the strength in our possession is the only guarantee for keeping the enemy under control and defending ourselves, he added.

In recent years, the DPRK has developed the intercontinental ballistic missiles "Hwasongpho-17" and "Hwasongpho-18" under the leadership of Kim Jong Un. And in October this year, it completed the perfected weapon system of the intercontinental ballistic missile "Hwasongpho-19" which updated the latest records of the strategic missile capabilities.

Only the strength great enough to control and deter the enemy can guarantee the peace and future of the DPRK and its people.
