The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has held a national meeting to mark the 77th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army. |
He said the army has grown into a powerful revolutionary armed force with modern offensive and defensive capability since its founding on April 25, 1932.
He said the DPRK will strengthen its war deterrent and take stronger counter-measures as the US and South Korea are continuing hostile policies. He warned the army will respond fearlessly if the US and South Korea dare to attack the DPRK.
