The North Korean regime pledged to take its “tougher” policies against the United States during a meeting of the country’s ruling party last week.
The meeting, held from December 23 to 27, included senior members of the Workers’ Party of Korea, including dictator Kim Jong Un. North Korea’s Korean Central News Agency said the leaders condemned the ongoing partnership between the United States, Japan and South Korea as a “nuclear military bloc.”
“This reality clearly shows in which direction we should advance, what we should do and how,” the party said in a statement.
The meeting comes as North Korea faces escalating tensions with Western governments after sending troops to help in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine this fall.
