North Korean leader, KIM JONG UN has blamed the United States for tensions on the peninsula and accused the South of hypocrisy, state media reported Tuesday, as he opened an exhibition showcasing his nuclear-armed country’s weapons.
According to the official Korean newsmen, he said in an address to the “Self-Defense 2021” display that the wrong judgment and acts” of the US meant instability could not be resolved.
It was gathered that PYONGYANG is under multiple international sanctions over its banned nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, which have made rapid progress under KIM.
Pyongyang says it needs its arsenal to protect itself against a US invasion as analysts say North Korea is seeking to normalize its status as a nuclear power.
The Biden administration has repeatedly stated that it has no hostile intent towards Pyongyang, but Kim insisted that North Korea’s weapons were for self-defense and not aimed at any particular country.
