‘North Korea’s ambition is for the most powerful nuclear power in the world’: Kim Jong Un | World news
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country’s ultimate goal is to have the world’s most powerful nuclear force, as he promoted dozens of military personnel who took part in the recent launch of an North Korea’s biggest ballistic missile launch, state media reported on Sunday.
The announcement came after Kim inspected a test of the country’s new Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), and pledged to counter US nuclear threats with nuclear weapons on November 18.
Building nuclear power is for the protection of the trust and dignity and sovereignty of the city and the people, and “its ultimate goal is to have the most powerful strategic power in the world, a complete power that has never been seen already in a hundred years,” said Kim in the order of the promotion of leadership.
He called the Hwasong-17 the “world’s most powerful strategic weapon” and said it showed North Korea’s determination and ability to build the world’s most powerful military.

North Korean scientists have made “an incredible leap forward in the development of the technology of mounting nuclear weapons on ballistic missiles,” Kim said, without comment.
Showing photos with scientists, engineers, military personnel and others involved in the test, Kim said he hoped they would continue to expand and strengthen the country’s nuclear deterrent at an extraordinary pace. .
Those officials swore loyalty and faith to the ruling party, and vowed to defend the party’s “absolute honor” and Kim, and vowed that “our weapons will fly as high as he points” through soak.
They said Kim had “carefully taught us one by one” during the development of the Hwasong-17.
Able to reach the US territory, the missile launch prompted the United States to call for a statement from the President of the United Nations Security Council to hold North Korea accountable for its missile tests, which have been banned by Security Council resolutions.
North Korea’s powerful Standing Committee of the Supreme People’s Assembly awarded the Hwasong-17 missile with the title of “Hero of the DPRK and the Gold Star Medal and the Order of the National Flag 1st Class”, KCNA reported in another statement, using the initials of the official name of the country, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

“(The missile) clearly showed before the world that the DPRK is a full-fledged nuclear power capable of standing against the nuclear power of the US imperialists and fully demonstrated its power as the most powerful ICBM state,” KCNA said.
The test fire showed that North Korea would respond in kind to “enemy destruction and future aggression,” the report said.
