North Korea's Kim calls for 'military revolution' as he urges stronger army units
Kim urged army companies to become elite combat units and said the meeting was aimed at building the strongest armed forces in the world.
- On Saturday, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un called for the KPA to build the 'strongest army' during a two-day meeting of Company Leaders in Pyongyang that concluded Friday, state media KCNA reported.
- The gathering marked the first Army-wide event since the Ninth Congress of the Workers Party in Korea, where Kim had called for stronger conventional forces and reaffirmed nuclear weapons development plans.
