Kim Jong Un has warned of a ‘great life-and-death struggle’ for North Korea as he marked the end of his 10th year in power

Kim spent the majority of his speech detailing domestic issues from an ambitious plan for rural development to people's diets, school uniforms and the need to crack down on"non-socialist practices."Experts suggested the speech's lack of focus on the United States and South Korea means that Kim has no interest in resuming talks with Washington and Seoul anytime soon.

Kim ordered the production of powerful, modern weapons systems to improve his military forces and called for the military's"absolute loyalty and allegiance" to the ruling party led by him, according to KCNA.The plenary meeting was also said to have set forth"tactical directions" for North Korea's external relations including with South Korea, but didn't elaborate.

And Kim was said to have claimed progress in new development plans, saying last year was"a year of great victory" and that this year's objectives are"a great life-and-death struggle" that must be achieved. He posted on Twitter:"Kim might be aware that revealing sophisticated military development plans while people are suffering food shortages and harsh conditions outside of Pyongyang might not be such a good idea this year."In an analysis of the speech, he added that North Korea was"more or less in survival mode for 2022 and doesn't really know what to do re foreign policy right now".
