Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Guides Production Activities of

Major Defence Industrial Enterprise

Pyongyang, May 18 (KCNA) -- Great achievements have been made even in
carrying out the tasks for production for national defence assigned by the
Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea, which attaches
special importance to it, in the crucial period when epochal results have been
achieved in the field of defence industry of the DPRK and remarkable
changes are being made one after another in bolstering up its defence
capabilities.
Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and
president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea,
Friday visited a defence industrial enterprise which is bringing about an
upsurge in the production of major weapons and equipment, and learned
about its production activities.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un highly appreciated once again the
distinguished feats performed by the enterprise in bolstering up the nuclear
war deterrent of the country, expressing great satisfaction at the production
results it achieved in the first half of 2024 and the prospect for fulfillment of
the yearly munitions production plan.
Learning about the technologies of the parts of the newly updated combat
equipment, he said he was pleased with the remarkable progress made by the
enterprise and it is an encouraging success for the whole field of defence
industry.
Noting that we cannot but more strictly acknowledge the necessity of
bolstering up our nuclear war deterrent to cope with the security
environment of the country created due to the enemies’ reckless military
confrontation moves which have become more undisguised and desperately
developed recently, he stressed the need to continue to accelerate important
activities and production activities for more rapidly bolstering the nuclear
force of the DPRK without halt and hesitation.
He said that the enemies would grow dreadful and dare not to play with fire
only when they witness the nuclear combat posture of our state which is hard
for them to realize, and that this just means war deterrent. He called for
clearly showing the enemies the infinite capability of the DPRK developing
rapidly.

He clarified the strategic tasks for discharging the important mission of the
national defence field to firmly guarantee the peaceful life and safety of our
people and defend the stable environment of the development of the country.
When the munitions production plan assigned by the WPK Central Military
Commission as a long-term goal to be attained by 2025 is carried out, our
nuclear forces will greet a very important change and occupy a remarkably
raised strategic position.
He was accompanied by Pak Jong Chon, vice-chairman of the WPK Central
Military Commission and secretary of the C.C., WPK, Jo Chun Ryong,
secretary of the C.C., WPK, and Kim Jong Sik, first vice department director
of the C.C., WPK. -0-
