Kim, standing with North Korea's largest number of missiles, declared that Pyongyang was increasing its forces only in self-defense and not to start a war. According to a report by the state-run news agency KCNA, Kim Jong Un made this remark during a speech at the Defense Development Exhibition on Monday.

Kim was posing next to a variety of weapons, including the country's intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). These pictures have been featured prominently in the ruling party's newspaper Rodong Sinmun.

"We are not discussing war with anyone, but we are taking measures to increase the prevention of war ourselves to prevent war and protect national sovereignty," Kim said in his speech after the arms exhibition. He said North Korea's main enemy is "war itself".

Let us tell you that after North Korea's rapid weapons making, South Korea has also jumped in this race. Both sides have tested rapidly advanced short-range ballistic missiles and other weapons.

South Korea recently tested its first submarine-launched ballistic missile and purchased US-made F-35 stealth fighter jets.

North Korea has stepped up its missile program, and analysts say it has begun a major expansion of its main nuclear reactor, which is used to produce fuel for nuclear bombs.

At the same time, the US said about its relations with North Korea that it is ready to hold diplomatic talks with North Korea at any time. In response, Pyongyang has said that it is not interested in talks as long as Washington maintains policies such as military activities in South Korea.
