State-run Korean Central Television has reported that Kim delivered a speech at Kim Il Sung University of Politics in Pyongyang on Monday. Future military officers are educated at the school.
Kim said "making the army politically, ideologically and morally strong" should be a priority, and developing advanced military technology and equipment including nuclear armed forces should be realized.
Kim said struggles for transformation unprecedented in North Korea's history are being staged amid the rapid changes in the world. He emphasized that the role of North Korea's army is more important than ever before.
South Korean experts say there are views that Kim is aiming to tighten control of the Korean People's Army, as North Korea is sending troops to Russia, which continues its invasion of Ukraine.
