DPRK Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui, in a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, said that the DPRK will not revise its policy of strengthening its nuclear forces, as the current situation requires Pyongyang to improve its preparation for a retaliatory nuclear attack.

Once again, I assure you that my country will do this. Choe stated the policy of strengthening its nuclear forces He said he wouldn’t change it in any way.
