Kim stressed the need to reduce the Korean Peninsula military tension and his country is ready for talks with South Korea. If there really is a negotiation between the two countries, it will be their first official meeting.

Meanwhile, Kim said Washington would not dare to attack, as North Korea, already having a missile reaching Washington, through the Pacific Ocean. "The whole territory of the United States is in the scope of our nuclear weapons and there is always a nuclear button on my desk. It's a reality, not a threat, "Kim said.

In conclusion, the leader said, "Our country has finished developing its nuclear program in the past year and will move to mass production of missiles and nuclear warheads," said Kim Chen-zun, adding that "these weapons will only be used, if our security is threatened. "" The whole territory of the United States is within the reach of our nuclear weapons and there is always a nuclear button on my desk that is a reality, not a threat. "
