Pyongyang has vowed to strengthen its nuclear force "in quality and quantity" and to expand the role of its intelligence agency, North Korean state media said on Friday.
In a meeting of the Workers' Party's Central Military Commission on Thursday, North Korean leaders discussed plans to modernise the country's armed forces, with Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un saying that only a strong military could guarantee "true peace," per the KCNA news agency.
"The meeting suggested tasks and ways for expanding in a many-sided way the functions and missions of the General Reconnaissance and Intelligence Bureau, which plays a pivotal role in controlling the potential enemies’ threats and gathering key information, and enhancing its capability of military reconnaissance and intelligence activities in a radical way," KCNA reported.
