Comprehensive national measures have also been elaborated to vigorously advance the development of space science and technology," Kim was quoted as saying by the news agency. Pyongyang needs to be able to respond quickly to a "possible nuclear crisis," he added. The North Korean leader also spoke about the need to strengthen the military capabilities of the navy's submarine and surface forces and to develop and produce various types of unmanned weapons and electronic warfare equipment. In the field of civil defense, tasks were set to continuously update the methods of training soldiers to "actively and proactively" resist any combat actions of the enemy.
