Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un – as the United States and South Korea spouted the most hostile rhetoric and demonstrated with clear actions this year – has continued to plan to further strengthen their anti-DPRK military posture in the name of “providing extended deterrence” and “strengthening the ROK-US alliance.” Under these circumstances, it is natural for our State to develop military deterrence commensurate with the current and future worrisome security environment – and to obtain and operate military reconnaissance means is essential to improving the military effectiveness and practicality of our various means of war deterrence. He said that this should be the most important and top priority task of our Collective Nation!

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un organized a non-stationary satellite launch preparation committee to launch Military Reconnaissance Satellite No. 1 – which had was successfully manufactured as of April – within the planned time frame – with accelerated final preparations. He set forth the militant task of firmly building reconnaissance and information-gathering capabilities by the DPRK. Receiving great trust and encouragement from the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un – the officials, scientists and engineers of the National Space Development Agency will become space conquerors who faithfully uphold the Party’s vision of building a grand space power through perfect practice – and thus achieve the Republic’s self-respect, authority and independence! It was overflowing with fiery determination to raise the great national power of Ancient Korea proudly throughout the universe! (End)
