N. Korean leader inspects military command
SEOUL, June 14 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has recently paid a visit to the command of a military unit while his communist nation is vowing to produce more nuclear weapons in response to a U.N. Security Council resolution that condemned its latest nuclear test, the North's state media reported Sunday.
The report by the North's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) came one day after
the North Korean foreign ministry said the country will also start enriching
uranium to produce nuclear weapons.
"Expressing great satisfaction over the fact that the division has been prepared
to creditably perform its combat duty in any circumstance by making use of
training equipment manufactured by it under the slogan of "Training Is Also a
Battle!", he highly praised the unit's militant training spirit and set forth the
tasks for increasing its combat ability in every way," the KCNA report said of
Kim's visit to the command of the 7th Infantry Division of the People's Army.
The report did not state when the inspection was made.
North Korea conducted its second nuclear detonation test on May 25, prompting the
Security Council resolution, adopted Friday (New York time), that placed heavy
sanctions on the North, including mandatory inspection of any North Korean vessel
suspected of carrying drugs, weapons or counterfeit currency, main sources of
hard currency for the impoverished country.
