North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for active 'diplomatic and military countermeasures' to preserve the country's security in a lengthy speech at a key political conference possibly meant to legitimize major changes to his nuclear diplomacy with the United States.
SEOUL, KOREA, REPUBLIC OF -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for active "diplomatic and military countermeasures" to preserve the country's security in a lengthy speech at a key political conference possibly meant to legitimize major changes to his nuclear diplomacy with the United States.
Some experts believe Kim could use the speech to declare he is suspending his nuclear negotiations with Washington, which have stalemated over disagreements in exchanging sanctions relief and disarmament, and he could possibly revive confrontation by lifting a self-imposed moratorium on nuclear and long-range missile tests.
KCNA said the party is working to draft a resolution based on the agenda laid out by Kim and plans to discuss an unspecified "important document."
