SEOUL (Reuters) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the country would achieve victory in “anti-imperialist, anti-U.S.” battles as the country marked the anniversary of the Korean War armistice, state media reported on Sunday.

Kim “affirmed that our state and its people would surely achieve the great cause of building a rich country with a strong army and become honorable victors in the anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. showdown,” the KCNA state news agency said, referring to his visit to a war museum on a previous day.
