North Korean leader Kim Jong Un referenced a rise in tensions with other countries and said the military should be strengthened, state media reported on Sunday after a meeting of the country’s top military officials.
The comments were made in a report on the recently-held “Third Enlarged Meeting of the Seventh Central Military Commission (CMC) of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK),” which comes ahead of a planned plenary meeting of the WPK Central Committee before the end of the month.
