Associated Press notes that the dictator in his speech accused the United States of leading global aggression and State terrorism, while referring to conflicts in the mediate East. He besides announced that North Korea would increase its commitment to action against Washington, and that the decision of the opponents depends on whether there will be confrontation or peaceful coexistence. Kim Jong Un assured that his country was prepared for any eventuality.
The agency added that Kim's statements were a continuation of his February declarations during the Labour organization legislature erstwhile he criticized Seoul, but left the chance for dialog with US president Donald Trump's administration, demanding Washington to waive the request of denuclearisation as a condition for conversation.

In late January Kim Jong Un visited a atomic production facility and atomic weapons institute. South Korean agency Yonhap pointed out that it could be assumed that it was a uranium enrichment plant that Kim visited as early as last September.

He so considered it an work to continually strengthen the atomic arsenal, which is designed to defend the sovereignty of the country, its interests and the nation's right to development.
