North Korean leader Kim Jong Un presided over a four-day meeting of party officials this week amid rising tensions with the United States, which has not responded to his repeated calls for concessions to reopen negotiations

SEOUL - North Korea’s leader plans to further develop nuclear programs and to introduce a “new strategic weapon” in the near future, state media said on Wednesday, although he signaled there was still room for dialogue with the United States.

He pledged to continue bolstering his country’s nuclear deterrent but said the “scope and depth” of that deterrent will be “properly co-ordinated depending on” the attitude of the United States. In his latest comments on Tuesday in the United States, President Donald Trump said he had a good relationship with Kim and thought the North Korean leader would keep his word.

There were no official reports as of early afternoon on Wednesday in South Korea that Kim had delivered an annual New Year’s address. Tension had been rising ahead of the year-end as North Korea conducted a series of weapons tests and waged a war of words with Trump.
