The defence of dignity, rights and interests of a country can be guaranteed only by a powerful strength.
It is necessary to have practical ability and combat readiness the forces hostile to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea are afraid of. It means the defence capacity and the safeguard of peace.
The more fully we are prepared for a war, the more durable the peace of our state will be, and the closer we will come to our goal of building a powerful and prosperous state.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea successfully conducted a test-fire of new-type intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile on January 6 as part of the plans for the development of the defence capabilities to raise the durability and effectiveness of the strategic deterrent against the potential enemies in conformity with the changing regional security environment.
That day, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said that just like the intended purpose of all military powers, the development of the new-type hypersonic missile is aimed mainly at steadily putting the country's nuclear war deterrent on an advanced basis by placing the means of changing the war situation, a weapon system to which no one can respond, at the core axis of our strategic deterrence.
This is clearly a plan and effort for self-defence, not an offensive plan and action, he added.
The hypersonic missile system will reliably contain any enemies in the Pacific region that can affect the security of our state.
Through the current test, the DPRK demonstrated the potentiality and development speed of its self-defensive technical forces capable of fully coping with even the prospective threats and showed the enemies what we are doing and that we are fully ready to use any means to defend its legitimate interests.
The development of the defence capabilities of the DPRK aiming to be a military power will be further accelerated.
