North Korean’s Kim Jong Un pledged to solidify his nation’s nuclear status while keeping a hard-line position regarding South Korea, which he referred to as the “most hostile” state, state media indicated Tuesday, according to The Associated Press.
In a speech Monday to Pyongyang’s rubber-stamp parliament, Kim accused the United States of global “state terrorism and aggression,” in an apparent reference to the war in the Middle East, and said North Korea will play a more forceful role in a united front against Washington amid rising anti-American sentiment.
The AP reported that the North Korean official indicated that the matter of whether opponents “choose confrontation or peaceful coexistence is up to them, and we are prepared to respond to any choice.”
