The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported today (December 28) that leader Kim Jong-un announced the country's new military goals for 2023 at the 6th Enlarged Plenary Meeting of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
At the meeting, the North Korean leader reviewed the new challenges facing the Korean Peninsula. He also outlined directions for dealing with hostile forces and strengthening the country's defense capabilities.
Mr. Kim Jong-un also requested that the Party and Government of North Korea strictly adhere to regulations on protecting national sovereignty and interests. The North Korean leader emphasized that the new core goals set to enhance self-defense capabilities will continue to be vigorously pursued by North Korea in 2023 to prepare for diverse fluctuations in the new political situation.

The Korean Central News Agency did not specify what North Korea's new military goals are in 2023. However, according to analysts, North Korea is likely to continue testing missiles and new weapons as it did in 2022, which could further increase tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula are expected to rise in 2022 as North Korea conducts a series of missile tests, including ballistic missiles capable of reaching the US./.
