Kim Jong-Un Reiterates that North Korea is a 'No COVID-19’ country

Pyongyang

North Korea is a “no COVID 19 country” reiterated the country’s supreme leader Kim Jong-Un, while addressing a gathering of hundreds here in Pyongyang on Saturday. The country was witnessing the annual military parade and Kim making his address.

The virus has failed to dent North Korea Kim continued and he also wished health to people who are infected with coronavirus worldwide. The Supreme Leader said that he was grateful "not a single person" in the North had contracted the coronavirus that has swept the world since emerging in neighboring China.

Kim's focus on COVID-19 in his military day parade comes days after the President of archrival United States, Donald Trump, contracted the lethal infection. The latter's condition, however, has improved over the past week and he is scheduled to rejoin the campaign trail for the upcoming presidential elections.

In a sharp message to "adversarial nations", apparently the US and its regional ally South Korea, Kim said the North would continue to strengthen its weapon arsenal and work on overall military development despite apprehension being raised by some countries.
