At the meeting, North Korea unanimously decided to “supplement Article 58, Chapter 4 of the Socialist Constitution” to ensure the country's right to exist and develop, prevent war and protect regional and global peace by rapidly developing nuclear weapons to a higher level.

Mr. Kim Jong-un affirmed that this is a historic event that provides strong political leverage to significantly enhance national defense capabilities.

Previously, at a National Assembly meeting in September 2022, North Korea enacted a new nuclear law allowing the first use of nuclear weapons (using a preemptive nuclear strike), calling the country's nuclear state status "irreversible".
