North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said plans to strengthen front-line units on the border with South Korea, as well as other major units, are essential to ‘deter war more rigorously,’ the news agency reported on Monday KCNA.
Mr. Kim made the remarks on Sunday during a meeting bringing together commanders of divisions and brigades from across the army, the KCNA said.
He called for adapting the training system and expanding practical exercises to reflect the changes in modern warfare and North Korea’s military development, according to the KCNA.
Kim also said the planned projects are expected to redefine operational concepts in line with the rapid modernization of military and technical equipment, and apply them to combat training of units.
The KCNA reported that Kim stressed ideological loyalty and vigilance against the ‘arch enemy’, a term used by North Korea to refer to South Korea.
