North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has called for the regime’s military to build the “strongest army” as he addressed a meeting of commanders in Pyongyang, the North’s state media reported Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kim made the remarks as he supervised a meeting of company commanders on Oct. 22 and 23 in the North’s capital, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).<\/p>\n

Kim told the commanders that “the main spirit of the Third Meeting of Company Leaders of the Korean People’s Army is to build the strongest army and accelerate the Korean-style military revolution by training the strongest companies,” the KCNA reported.<\/p>\n

Kim also instructed company commanders to “firmly carry forward the true nature of our army as the army of the Party and the army of ideology and core elements.”<\/p>\n

The meeting was the first gathering of the North’s entire army after Pyongyang’s Ninth Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the KCNA reported.<\/p>\n
