The North Korean regime vowed to increase its epidemic prevention and national defense capability budget, despite “complicated problems” caused by what it called “hostile forces’ persistent sanctions” and the coronavirus pandemic, state media said on Tuesday.
The state budget was presented at a two-day meeting of the regime’s top political body, which began on Sunday, according to state media Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). North Korean head of the communist regime Kim Jong-un was not present at the meeting.
