NORTH KOREA: Kim Warns Of Strengthening Nuclear Forces "Without Limitation"

NORTH KOREA
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timeAPACPolitical Risk BulletBulletGlobalEmerging Market NewsNorth KoreaRegion

North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un called for a development of his nation's nuclear forces "without limitation" and pressing ahead with war preparations in his closing remarks at a military conference held in Pyongyang on Friday, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported today. The dictator pointed to the trilateral US-South Korea-Japan military cooperation as a key factor destabilising the Korean Peninsula.

  • Kim criticised the US for its role in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war but stopped short of commenting on the deployment of North Korean troops to the frontlines there amid reports that they are already fighting in Russia's Kursk region. The US responded by authorising Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles to strike targets within Russia, albeit Axios reported that the permission was limited to the Kursk region.
  • According to Yonhap News Agency, who cited a high-level official at South Korea's Unification Ministry, the two-day conference in Pyongyang was likely held to "discipline the sentiment within the military amid the news of the troop dispatch becoming known to the military and society."
