North Korean leader Kim Jong-un called for fostering more military commanders to bolster the country’s combat capabilities and help stoke fears among its enemies, state media reported Friday.

Kim made the remark during his visit to Kim Il Sung Military University in Pyongyang on Thursday, the 92nd founding anniversary of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army (KPRA), according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

The KPRA is the anti-Japanese guerilla force known to have been created by late national founder Kim Il-sung in 1932.

In a speech, the North’s leader stressed that the main task of the military academy is to nurture more capable military commanders.

“The more (the school) faithfully fulfills its duty, the more the combat power of our military will be strengthened. Then, in direct proportion to the move, our enemies’ anxiety and fears will further increase,” Kim was quoted as saying by the KCNA.

At the height of the 1950-53 Korean War, North Korea founded an elite military school under the
support of the former Soviet Union’s armed forces and changed the name to Kim Il Sung Military University in 1956.

Including the case of going to meet the accused in prison to interrogate and make them confess. Until later the accused had a miscarriage. Therefore, he would like to investigate whether this action is considered an offense or not.
