Mr Kim also called for extensive strengthening of North Korea's defences.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country will not rule out using them nuclear weapons if enemies attacked it.

In his address that day, Mr Yoon warned the North against using nuclear weapons. “That day will see the end of the North Korean regime.”
