The military parade in North Korea is observed annually on the foundation day of ruling Workers' Party. This year, the date also marks the 75th anniversary of the political entity being led by the Jong-Un family.
Kim, in his address, wished good health to people across the world who have been infected by coronavirus. He also reiterated the claim that "no person" in North Korea has contracted COVID-19 so far.
In a warning to the country's adversaries - apparently the United States and its regional ally South Korea - Kim said the North would continue to "strengthen its military" and remain prepared to launch a befitting retaliation if subjected to any form of aggression.
