Pyongyang, June 24 /Xinhua/ — The supreme leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), Kim Jong Un, participated on Tuesday in the ceremony for the commissioning of the new multipurpose destroyer “Choe Ryong” in Nampo. This was reported on Wednesday by the official news agency KCNA.
The warship was officially commissioned into the country’s naval forces after completing a 14-month trial period to assess its combat capabilities, according to the report.
Changes in the naval forces of the DPR not only mean an increase in the size of ships or technological improvement of onboard equipment, cites the agency the words of Kim Chen In.
The most important change and the most significant progress is that the naval forces ‘have taken a different position, received a different mission and zone of operations, and accordingly achieved a different result,’ he added.
The country’s naval forces “are transforming into a full-fledged branch of the armed forces equipped with strategic means,” said Kim Jong Un. –0–
