North Korea declares unprecedented tough strategy to deal with the US

AFP news agency on December 29 quoted the content of a news report published by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on the same day saying that last week North Korea held a five-day party meeting to guide national policy for 2025.

KCNA's report said that the increasingly close relationship between South Korea, the US and Japan has "expanded into a nuclear military bloc" serving aggressive activities.

According to KCNA, Washington has not changed its anti-communist policy and South Korea has “turned into a complete anti-communist outpost of the US.”

“This fact clearly shows in which direction we should move, what to do and how to do it,” KCNA asked, adding that in that context, leader Kim Jong Un's speech to senior officials “clarified the strategy to launch the toughest counterattack against the US in a decisive manner.”

However, according to AFP, KCNA did not provide specific details about this anti-US strategy.

Regarding the above issue, Reuters news agency quoted a report from North Korean state television (KRT) on December 29, saying that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un chaired a series of important policy meetings last week, ahead of the New Year.

Meetings between North Korean party and government officials have decided that Pyongyang will deploy the “toughest strategy” to deal with the United States to protect national security and interests.

The series of meetings, which took place from December 23 to 27, also reviewed the handling of floods that occurred earlier this year, including an evacuation plan that brought affected residents to the capital Pyongyang, the report said.
