On New year’s day, yesterday, many North Koreans braved the cold and snowy January weather to make their way to Mansu Hill in central Pyongyang to lay flowers at the feet of the giant statues of Kim Jong II and his father Kim II Sung, the founder of this ultra-authoritarian state. However, while he was well-connected, having served “Dear Leader” Kim Jong-il too, it’s not apparent that he is the sort of rival worth killing.
He was also known among South Korean officials for his logic and negotiating skills.
Instead, Jeong chose to respond to the sharp criticism Kim directed at South Korea in his address when the North Korean leader called President Park Geun-hye’s peaceful reunification goal a disguised form of “regime change” in the North.
“Kim seemed to make the post in a bid to reorganize the military that reflects his own style”, said Kim Yong-hyun, a professor of North Korean studies at Dongguk University in Seoul.
“We will continue to work patiently to achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula and regional stability”. Yun downplayed the potential for a summit between Park & Kim until North Korea curbs its nuclear weapons program. He went on: The year 2015 was a year of very big struggle recorded with significant events and eye-opening successes and a year of victory and glory that strikingly demonstrated the dignity and might of socialist Korea. “The North, however, doesn’t appear to be in the final stages of completing its hydrogen bombs”, according to the CBR report.
While the world collectively doubts the capability of the relatively tiny nation to develop the H-bomb, apart from the country’s claims of developing miracle vaccines, experts on the region have expressed their concern about the provocative statements made by the leader, especially if he intends to bolster relation with its Southern neighbor and its closest ally, China, reported RT.

Pyongyang’s state-controlled media outlet KCNA reported Tuesday, local time, Kim inspected a shooting competition held by the Korean People’s Army, his first military activity of 2016. The country maintains that it is Juche 105.
