PYONGYANG: North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has criticized joint military exercises of South Korea, the U.S. and Japan, calling the leaders of the three countries as gang bosses.
According to the North’s state Korean Central News Agency on Tuesday, he made the remarks in his Navy Day speech at the Naval Command of the Korean People’s Army.
He slammed a meeting of the three countries’ “gang bosses” where they announced holding regular trilateral military drills.
Kim has said that the waters of the Korean Peninsula have become the most unstable worldwide as the danger of a nuclear is looming in the area due to the reckless confrontational manoeuvres by the U.S. and hostile forces. He directed the Navy to remain on high alert.
Kim’s daughter also accompanied her father during the visit, her first public appearance with Kim in about 100 days.
She was last seen with her father on May 16 when Kim inspected a preparatory committee on-site on the North’s attempt to launch a military spy satellite.
