North Korea's leadership has once again drawn the world's attention through new amendments to the country's constitution. According to the new revision, the country's leader, Kim Jong Un, has officially gained the authority to use nuclear weapons as head of state. This was reported by the Reuters agency.
It is reported that the new constitution designates Kim Jong Un, as Chairman of State Affairs, as the person with the highest authority over the country's nuclear policy. Most importantly, the document grants him the right to use nuclear weapons when necessary.
Analysts believe this decision once again demonstrates that Pyongyang has no intention of abandoning its nuclear program. On the contrary, through this new revision, North Korea appears to be attempting to further strengthen its military strategy.
The updated version of the constitution notes that the country will continue to develop nuclear weapons as a guarantee for 'preventing war' and countering external threats. Official Pyongyang views this policy as a key component of ensuring state security.
In recent years, the missile tests and tensions surrounding the nuclear program carried out by North Korea have been a subject of major international debate. The new constitutional changes are likely to further intensify these discussions.
Some experts believe that this decision is likely to affect not only regional security but also the entire global geopolitical environment, as any political decision involving nuclear weapons has serious repercussions in international relations.
For now, official responses from international organizations and major powers are awaited. However, one thing is clear: Pyongyang intends to maintain its nuclear program as one of the top priorities in the country's policy.
