North Korea marked the 75th anniversary of the ruling Labor Party with a rare nightly military parade. State television began showing images of the celebrations on Saturday night (local time) with thousands of soldiers marching, crowds cheering, military music and fireworks in the center of the capital Pyongyang.
Kim Jong Un (36), in a gray suit and tie, greets the crowd from Kim-Il-Sung-Platz in Pyongyang, accepts flowers from children and gives a girl and a boy a big slap on the cheek as thanks. .
The army will expand
Then the ruler gives a speech. His country would “fully mobilize the nuclear force” if threatened. North Korea will continue to expand its military “for self-defense and deterrence.” As proof of this, the 36-year-old proudly unveils a new ICBM. According to experts, this should be one of the largest ICBMs in the world, if it were operational.
The ruler also announces that his country is free of coronavirus. He thanks the soldiers for “preventing a corovonavirus outbreak.” He seems to be struggling to hold back tears. Thanks to these efforts, “not a single North Korean has tested positive for the disease.” A statement that has aroused much skepticism in the United States and South Korea in the past. Kim wishes good health to the rest of the world that is fighting the virus.
Corona, hurricanes and sanctions guilty of the economic situation
Although the North Koreans, according to their statements, managed not to contract the pathogen, the virus is still sometimes the culprit that the quality of life in the country has not improved. “I’m ashamed that I couldn’t really return his enormous confidence,” Kim said.
“My efforts and dedication weren’t enough to lift our people out of difficult living conditions.” In addition to Corona, hurricanes and international sanctions are to blame for the lack of economic progress.
Observers believe it was a recording of a parade and festivities on Saturday night. The South Korean military had previously announced that the isolated neighboring country may have held a large military parade before dawn. Communist North Korea is largely isolated internationally. (male / SDA)
