The respected Comrade
Saying that the nuclear-material production field and the Nuclear Weapons Institute thoroughly carried out two tasks according to the new important strategy set forth by our Party, he noted with great satisfaction that as a result, major problems in highly developing the country's nuclear capability were perfectly solved.
After acquainting himself with the scale of the next year plan and development prospect of the nuclear-material production field and the Nuclear Weapons Institute, he said that he highly appreciates with pleasure the ever-growing nuclear technology forces of the DPRK and their increased capabilities. He added that having such strategic nuclear technological potentials is a great encouragement to our Party and a reliable guarantee for the struggle of our people, the victorious advance of our cause and the security of the future.
As he clarified at the 13th Session of the 14th Supreme People's Assembly a few days ago, the logic of keeping peace and security by force with a powerful deterrent, namely nuclear forces, as its backbone is the invariable stand of the DPRK, he said. He declared that steadily evolving the state's nuclear response posture is an essential top priority task in view of the security environment of the Republic, the most right choice for the present and future of the state and an unchangeable duty that we must carry out.
Saying that we should constantly strengthen and upgrade the nuclear shield and sword capable of reliably defending the security of the sovereignty, interests and right to development of the state, he noted that to this end, the WPK and the DPRK government will give top priority to providing and supporting every possibility and condition to the nuclear technology field for its sustained development.
Underlining the need for all the experts in the nuclear technology field to be well aware of the essence of our Party's line on increasing the nuclear forces and greet the Ninth Congress of the WPK with outstanding research successes and proud results of increased production, he indicated important tasks for steadily and highly developing the self-defensive nuclear capabilities of the country.
