Summary

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said his country was “equipping the navy with nuclear weapons”, state media reported on Wednesday, as he also unveiled plans to build 10,000-tonne warships. Kim also ordered the buildup of conventional weapons and accelerated construction of a 10,000-ton strategic guided missile cruiser, KCNA said. North Korea has defied a slew of sanctions imposed by both the United Nations ⁠and the US between 2006 and 2017, banning Pyongyang from developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to deliver them.

Furthermore, Efforts to revive diplomacy between Pyongyang and Washington have largely stalled since the collapse of high-level negotiations several years ago. Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have remained high in recent years as North Korea continues missile testing and weapons development, while the United States, South Korea and Japan have expanded joint military exercises and security cooperation. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un announced the plans at the commissioning of the Choe Hyon, one of two 5,000-ton-class warships the country launched last year.
