North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was quoted by the official North Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) as saying Pyongyang should make a “serious blow” to those who impose sanctions by building a self-sufficient economy.
The agency said that Kim expressed North Korea’s position on the second summit between Washington and Pyongyang, which was held recently, saying, “We must strike a blow to hostile forces, which is right side when determined to drop sanctions by raising the socialist structure to a high level of self-sufficiency in the appropriate our circumstances and our state based on our strength, technology and resources. ”
