(MENAFN- Nam News Network) PYONGYANG, Feb 10 (NNN-KCNA) – The top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), vowed to bolster war response posture, to cope with any security situation, during his visit to the Ministry of National Defence, marking Day of army Founding, yesterday.

In his speech, commemorating the 77th founding anniversary of the Korean People's Army, Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, noted the need to improve the war response posture of the country's armed forces, to confront security challenges.

Kim pointed out that, the U.S. constant deployment of nuclear strategic means on the Korean peninsula, the U.S.-led bilateral and multiple nuclear war simulation exercises, its trilateral military alliance with South Korea and Japan, and the formation of the Asian version of NATO, are inviting military imbalance on the peninsula and in Northeast Asia, and posing a grave challenge to his country's security.

The DPRK does not want unnecessary escalation of the regional situation“but will take sustained countermeasures, to ensure the regional military balance out of the aspiration for preventing the outbreak of a new war, and ensuring peace and security on the Korean Peninsula,” he said.

Referring to a series of new plans for rapidly bolstering all deterrences, including nuclear forces, Kim clarified once again, the unshakable policy of more highly developing the nuclear forces.

He expressed serious concern over the“reckless behaviours of the U.S. and Western group, intentionally fostering the prolonged war from the unrealisable dream, to deal strategic setbacks to Russia,” adding, the army and people of the DPRK will“invariably support and encourage the just cause of the Russian army and people, to defend their sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, in keeping with the spirit of the treaty on the comprehensive strategic partnership between the DPRK and Russia.”– NNN-KCNA
