Kim also said the country would not tolerate maritime and underwater military activities being carried out by enemies, such as deployments of strategic assets, and that its maritime defence would not be limited to a certain area but cover as much as it is deemed necessary to maintain peace.
“Only when there is a powerful naval force that no one can provoke, is it possible to defend the security of the country and the people and ensure normal development of the fishing industry and the overall national economy,” summarised KCNA regarding Jong Un’s comments.
