MOSCOW, November 1. /TASS/. The DPRK will not revise its nuclear buildup policy as the current situation requires Pyongyang to improve its preparation for a retaliatory nuclear strike, DPRK Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said during talks with Russian Foreign Minister , Sergey Lavrov.

“The current situation, as well as the likely threats and challenges, require more than ever that we strengthen our advanced strategic nuclear weapons, offensive nuclear weapons, as well as improve our preparedness for nuclear retaliation. Once again, I assure you that my country will in no way change its policy of building up its nuclear forces,” Choe said.

Earlier, DPRK leader Kim Jong Un said Pyongyang would not hesitate to use all available offensive forces if attacked. The DPRK has recently been actively developing new weapons, including MLRS. Last year, 600 mm MLRS systems were delivered to the Korean People’s Army. Pyongyang says the launchers can be used to fire tactical nuclear weapons.
