North Korea's Kim says relations with US depend on US attitude

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said prospects of North Korea-U.S. relations depend entirely on the attitude of the United States, while excluding any

discussion with South Korea, state media KCNA said on Thursday.



North Korea also held a military parade on Wednesday night to commemorate its key party congress, KCNA said.



Kim announced the end of North Korea's Ninth Congress of the ruling Workers' Party on Wednesday, saying it set out major policy goals for the nuclear-armed Asian nation for the next five years.



"We have a prospective plan to strengthen our national nuclear force, and will focus on projects to increase the number of nuclear weapons and expand nuclear operational means and space for use," Kim said, according to KCNA.
