According to the Korean Central News Agency, the head of state noted that the Kang Kon Academy plays a key role in the implementation of the ruling party's military policy. He called on the educational institution to preserve and develop its historical traditions, remaining the flagship in the training of military personnel "ready for any war."
According to Kim Jong-un, strengthening the foundations of the People's Army and increasing its combat readiness are important steps towards creating a powerful and modern army, "ready for any war."

At the same time, in the West, the North Korean leader's visits to higher military institutions are allegedly linked to the participation of North Korean soldiers in battles in the Kursk region. The Reuters news agency, citing South Korean intelligence, writes that the previous inspections could have been due to preparations for sending additional units to the Russian Federation.
In addition, the above-mentioned call for the creation of a modern army in the West is associated with the "inability" of North Korean soldiers to rapidly changing rules of engagement, which was allegedly confirmed by a "business trip" to the Kursk region.
In turn, the journalists of news1 went even further and drew a parallel with the personal inspections of educational institutions by the leader of the DPRK with the alleged desire of North Korean soldiers captured by the Armed Forces of America to "defect to South Korea." It is strange that the publication did not supplement the material with the traditional "and then shot with a mortar – personally."..
