Military vehicles prepare for a parade at Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang on Saturday.
The new strategy will be deployed at a time of escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula. "Trump just took the office; if he loses to Pyongyang, he would feel like he had lost some prestige".
The North's display of the strategic weapons to the world is apparently aimed at boasting of its military firepower as the USA continues to deploy high-profile defense assets near the peninsula. "I say this because Trump tweeted that the DPRK, North Korea, is looking for trouble and it's none other than the U.S. that is posing threats toward the DPRK with the largest scale ever military exercises (with South Korea) and the nuclear aircraft carrier Carl Vinson which was bound for Australia is now coming back to the Korean Peninsula".
The conclusions from the United Nations report were mixed, with some optimism expressed that China has been cracking down on illicit shipments to North Korea over the past few months but also complaints that China could do a great deal more to cut off Pyongyang's access to missile technology.
"Dialogue is the only possible solution", Mr Wang said. South Korea has a spotty record of tracking developments in North Korea, as information about the secretive, authoritarian state is often impossible to confirm. North Korea has conducted nuclear and missile tests on important national holidays in the past-though not this particular one.
"The most powerful and cutting-edge striking and defense means in our own style lined up to put an end to military supremacy claimed by imperialists", it reported.
A submarine-launched ballistic missile was displayed at the parade for the first time. This would allow North Korea to prevent its limited number of ICBM-capable launcher trucks from being damaged during launches and also make the missiles harder to detect after they're fired, he said. The AP adds that Han "cited Trump's tweets as problematic".
China is faces increasing pressure from the USA to rein in Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions.

It wanted to send "a tough message to the United States in response to the Trump administration's recent rhetoric and the military steps the United States has taken", said Evans Revere of the Brookings Institution in Washington.
Mr Han said Mr Trump's "aggressive words" were being seen as a threat. "It's not the DPRK but the USA and Trump that makes trouble".
The official, who wasn't authorised to be quoted by name and demanded anonymity, lamented Pyongyang's "far too common and far too dangerous" provocations, and said Washington would work with global partners to cut the North's government off "from the rest of the world".
BEIJING/PYONGYANG China said on Friday tension over North Korea had to be stopped from reaching an "irreversible and unmanageable stage" as a USA aircraft carrier group steamed towards the region amid fears the North may conduct a sixth nuclear weapons test.

The U.S. seeks nothing more than a "stable and economically prosperous Korean peninsula", not military conflict, the official said.
The US has warned that a policy of "strategic patience" is over. Amid rising regional tensions, Pyongyang residents have.
