North Korea Calls for Stronger Military
2005-10-10
PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) - North Korea promised to pursue a stronger military as it marked a major anniversary, but made no mention of its long-running nuclear standoff with the outside world.
That's what they need by gum! More juche! More army-based policy!
North Korea's leader Kim Jong Il was present as the communist state held a large-scale convention Sunday on the eve of the 60th anniversary of its ruling Workers' Party of Korea, the North's official media reported Monday. International delegations at the anniversary included one from China, the North's only major ally.

Kim Yong Nam, president of North Korea's parliament, said the country should ``direct primary efforts to the strengthening'' of the Korean People's Army, according to the North's Korean Central News Agency.
