The North Korean regime vowed at a ruling party meeting last week to adopt the “toughest” policy against the United States.
The December 23-27 meeting was attended by senior members of North Korea’s Workers’ Party, including dictator Kim Jong Un. The state-run Korean Central News Agency said the leaders condemned the continued partnership between the United States, Japan and South Korea as a “nuclear military bloc”.
“This reality makes clear which direction we should be heading, what we should do and how we should do it,” the party said in a statement.
The meeting comes amid growing tensions with Western governments after North Korea sent troops to assist Russia’s invasion of Ukraine this fall.
