At the National Assembly Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee audit held at the Korean Mission to the United Nations in New York on the 13th (local time), the issue of whether the mission's response to the mine explosion incident in North Korea's Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) was appropriate came up. On this day, Rep. Kim Gun of the People Power Party said, "This issue occurred along with the fortification of the border area between North and South Korea, and is a serious issue related to the neutralization of the Korean Peninsula Armistice Agreement," and asked Ambassador Cha whether he had any plans to discuss this issue at the UN Security Council.

North Korea emphasizes protecting sovereignty with nuclear weapons to mark 100th anniversary of alliance overthrowing imperialism

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Alliance to Overthrow Imperialism, North Korea reaffirmed the strengthening of nuclear forces as a key means of protecting the system through an editorial in the Rodong Sinmun, saying that the absolute sovereignty of the state and people can only be achieved with the strongest self-defense power. After Chairman Kim Jong-un constitutionalized the parallel policy of building nuclear forces in 2013, he argued that nuclear weapons can no longer be used as an object of negotiation and that power must be increased infinitely so that enemies are always afraid.
