North Korea has reaffirmed its commitment to expanding its nuclear arsenal as a means of self-defense, marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party of Korea. This stance was highlighted in a front-page editorial in the Rodong Sinmun, the country's most widely read daily, which celebrated the principles of independence and anti-imperialism at the heart of the organization.
The editorial emphasized the importance of maintaining the strongest self-defensive capabilities as the key to achieving complete and absolute sovereignty. It further stated that bolstering the nation's nuclear arsenal has been accomplished in a remarkably short period and has never been subject to negotiation, ensuring legal protection for its continuous advancement.
