North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was absent from the meeting yesterday with nearly 690 participants. Before that, he was also absent in the last parliamentary session in March of last year 9. Absence is the leader due to recuperate after ankle surgery.
However, the statement after the session of the National Assembly of Korea in accordance with the New Year's speech, Kim Jong-un emphasis on the need for economic development, improve people's lives but but to promote strategic nuclear program.
Declaration promote the development of nuclear weapons North Korea's parliament yesterday (9.4) to be taken in context, a report was published on the same day of the American Institute - Korea International School Senior Research Nitze under the Johns Hopkins University, Washington said North Korea now owns about 1,000 ballistic missiles capable of reaching the territory of Japan and Korea.
Specifically, the researchers emphasize, most of ballistic missile technology Koreans use of the former Soviet Union, may be discharged to the target in Korea and Japan. In particular, typically Nodong missile has a range of 1,200 to 1,500 km and Scud missiles with a range of 300 to 600 km.
The report, titled "The Future of Distributed Systems for Nuclear North Korea" also pointed out that, in 2020, Korea could develop about 100 nuclear warheads.
"Potential and technical capacity of Korea now allows developing countries of the nuclear arsenal. One of the 'worst scenario' is in 2020, Pyongyang will have 100 nuclear warheads, "the report of the American Institute - South Korea said.
Earlier, the US intelligence sources and South Korea says North Korea may be developing intercontinental ballistic missile known as the Taepodong place, capable of attacking the US mainland.
However, Korea's missile arsenal above is said to be only "represents a political statement rather than reflecting the real operational capability" of nuclear weapons North Korea because they "exist many problems serious, "the report said.
For example, the Taepodong missile, still limited by technological, once launched, will immediately intercept.
Despite some progress has been achieved, typically successful launch rocket carrying a satellite into orbit in 2012, Pyongyang has faced many technical challenges, especially in the development name intercontinental fire can release to the United States.
However, North Korea is constantly evolving nuclear program of this country. According to the report, in order to overcome the difficulties of Technology, Korea will seek support from abroad in the manufacturing and production of advanced equipment such as high-performance engines, thermal shields, avionics and engines using solid fuel instead of liquid fuels today.
Institute for Science and International Security, based in Washington (USA) recently warned Pyongyang possesses sufficient amount of fissile material to produce at least 10 nuclear weapons first. This number will increase to 20 or 100 in 2020.
"North Korea has built a distribution network of nuclear weapons development. This fact will help them become a small nuclear powers in the coming years," the report said.
Even last year, the commander of US forces in Korea, Curtis Scaparrotti once said that North Korea may have succeeded in miniature nuclear warheads mounted on missiles KN-08 and shot to the US .
However, Koreans have never conducted a missile test such. KN-08 missiles only appeared in the parade in Korea.
