North Korea's leader urges more military might

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il called for stronger military might as South Korean delegates in his capital urged the communist state to abandon any nuclear weapons development.

Kim made the comments during a visit to an unidentified “front-line unit”. The trip coincided with high-level, inter-Korean talks in Pyongyang, at which South Korea protested that the North’s reported possession of nuclear arms was a violation of a 1992 agreement to keep the Korean Peninsula nuclear-free.
