North Korean chancellor Ri Yong-ho
Has warned that the country's will is to "send raining fire" over the US in response to the belligerent words of US President Donald Trump, who threatened the UN with destroying North Korea. The North Korean foreign minister spoke in this way when he received a delegation from the Russian news agency Tass that has visited Pyongyang, state media reported. "It is the firm will of all the military personnel and people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK, the official name of the country) to make it rain on the US, which called for the total destruction of the DPRK," said Ri, according to a statement from the KCNA agency. Ri also said that the North Korean nuclear program is the "precious fruit of the bloody struggle of the Korean people to defend the destiny and the sovereignty of the country before the prolonged nuclear threat of the American imperialists, and a valuable sword justice." The North Korean chancellor attended the regular session of the United Nations General Assembly last September, in which Trump threatened in his speech to "completely destroy North Korea" for its continuing weapons tests, including its latest nuclear test, made on 3 September. These tests and the dialectical escalation between Washington and Pyongyang have raised regional tension over the past year to unprecedented levels since the end of the Korean War (1950-1953).
The delegation of Russian journalists to North Korea came shortly after a group of Russian MPs traveled to the hermetic Asian country. One of them explained after their visit that the North Korean authorities assured them that they are preparing the next test launch of a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with real capacity to reach the US West Coast. Experts speculate that Pyongyang could make this launch coincide with the Chinese Communist Party Congress, which starts on October 18, or in the face of Trump's visit to the region, which will take place from November 2 to 14.
