Seoul [South Korea], January 30: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for the country's nuclear shield to be strengthened as he visited a nuclear material production facility, state-controlled KCNA news agency reported on Wednesday.
North Korea's security situation makes it "indispensable" to constantly strengthen the country's nuclear shield, KCNA reported Kim as saying.
The report does not provide any precise information about where the facility Kim visited is nor about when the visit took place.
On Tuesday, a US government representative confirmed for the first time that President Donald Trump would continue to pursue the goal of completely disarming North Korea of its nuclear weapons during his second term in office.
"President Trump will pursue the complete denuclearization of North Korea, just as he did in his first term," South Korean news agency Yonhap quoted National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes as saying. (DPA)
