PYONGYANG, July 23 (Xinhua/GNA) – Kim Jong
Un, top leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), recently
made an on-site inspection of a newly built submarine, the official Korean
Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Tuesday.

The submarine will perform its duty in the
operational waters of the East Sea of Korea and its operational deployment is
nearly completed, the report said. 

According to KCNA, Kim “expressed great
satisfaction” over the fact that the submarine was designed and built to
be capable of fully implementing the military strategic intention under various
circumstances.

Saying that the operational capacity of a
submarine is an important component of the country’s national defense, Kim
stressed the need to steadily and reliably increase the national defense
capability by directing big efforts to the development of naval weapons and
equipment such as submarines, the report said.

Kim said the successful building of a
powerful submarine is another demonstration of the rapid development of the
DPRK’s defense industry, the report added.
