North Korea will launch its “toughest” ever strategy to counter the United States, state media said Sunday, reporting on a key year-end party meeting overseen by leader Kim Jong Un, reports NDTV.
The nuclear-armed state held a five-day party meeting last week as part of a drive to chart the country's course for 2025, the official Korean Central News Agency reported in a lengthy English dispatch.
“The US is the most reactionary state that regards anti-communism as its invariable state policy,” the report said.
It slammed growing ties between South Korea, the US and Japan, saying it had “expanded into a nuclear military bloc for aggression”.
It also said South Korea had “turned into an out-and-out anti-communist outpost of the US”.
“This reality clearly shows to which direction we should advance and what we should do and how,” KCNA said.
Against this backdrop, Kim's speech to top officials “clarified the strategy for the toughest anti-US counteraction to be launched aggressively”, the report said without providing details.
