North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country will launch three additional military spy satellites, build more nuclear weapons and introduce modern unmanned combat equipment in 2024, as he called for “overwhelming” war readiness to cope with US-led confrontational moves, state media reported on Sunday.Kim’s comments, made during a key ruling Workers’ Party meeting to set state goals for next year, suggest he’ll continue a run of weapons tests to increase his leverage in future diplomacy ahead of the US presidential elections in November next year.Observers say Kim could eventually offer to halt North Korea's testing activities and take other limited denuclearisation steps in return for sanctions relief but he has no intentions of fully abandoning his advancing nuclear arsenal.
