North Koreas supreme leader, Kim Jong Un, announced the increase in military power during a speech to the Workers Partys congress on Thursday.
He said it was urgently needed to increase the countrys security. We need to plan for rapid military growth.
The last Workers Party Congress was held in North Korea in 2016. The Workers Party Congress is usually held once every five years. It was held after 5 years. Kim suddenly announced Congress this year. This is the first time he has been seen giving a speech in military attire. Experts believe that the new president of the United States has announced an increase in military power because of this.
Two days ago, he admitted, the country was economically backward. However, Kim Jong Un said that we have a long-term plan on how to work to correct that mistake in the coming days.
