enter the final stage.
Lee assumed North Korea continued to develop ICBM despite being charged with sanctions in order to increase bargaining value and influence when facing the US about denuclearization negotiations.He also suspected that North Korea’s highest leader Jong Un continued to insist on developing this missile and nuclear weapon to secure his own regime.

“Whether it’s to increase the bargaining value with the US or secure its own regime, North Korea continues to develop ICBM which is able to transport nuclear warheads to the US,” Lee said during a visit to the New York Stock Exchange, Thursday (9/25), quoted

.
“(The development of ICBM) has not been seen successfully, but it is said that this is already in the final stage, with technology that has not been fulfilled a little more and that seems to be completed,” he said again during a visit on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly Session.
Lee then suspected North Korea had produced material for around 15 to 20 additional nuclear bombs every year.
“If left unchecked, the number of nuclear bombs will continue to grow every year and the ICBM will become more sophisticated,” said Lee.
Since sitting in the presidential chair, Lee has promised to improve relations with North Korea, a different step from its predecessor.
The main goal, he said, was to freeze North Korea’s nuclear program that could have an impact on regional instability.
If North Korea’s nuclear weapons production stops, according to Lee, it will bring “large safety benefits.”
Since knowing Lee’s vision of the region, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been reluctant to dialogue with South Korea.
Kim also put aside denuclearization and improved close defense relations with Russia.
This week, Kim said it was open to dialogue with the United States as long as he could continue to develop nuclear weapons.
