North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inspected a new nuclear materials production plant, which was recently put into operation. This was reported on Thursday, June 4, by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

During the visit, Kim Jong-un got acquainted with the technological indicators and long-term production plans. He was accompanied by the heads of the Defense Industry Department of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and employees of the Nuclear Weapons Research Institute. Kim Jong-un stressed that under the leadership of the WPK Central Committee of the eighth convocation, in five years it was possible to double the production capacity of weapons-grade nuclear materials in the country.

"Today's nuclear potential is unthinkable in isolation from the priceless struggle of the past 5 years. Today, I once again express my deep respect for our scientists in the nuclear field," KCNA quoted Kim Jong-un as saying.

The leader of the DPRK noted that the increase in productivity made it possible to move to a new stage in the struggle for nuclear deterrence. Following the meeting at the plant, the sequence of implementation of the plan to strengthen the republic's nuclear armed forces "exponentially" was clarified and guarantees for its implementation were determined.

KCNA called the visit to the enterprise an important moment that demonstrates Pyongyang's will to protect peace and stability in the region through strengthening defense capabilities.

On May 30, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Choi Song-hee, said that Moscow and Pyongyang, being allies, have a common opinion on all strategic issues. According to her, the parties, consistently defending their common interests, are achieving success in both comprehensive and bilateral contacts. As she explained, the result of such interaction is an increase in the well-being of the peoples of the two states.
