"Our external political activities must focus on our arch-enemy and the fundamental obstacle to our revolutionary development, the United States," Kim told the 8th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea, the state run Korean Central News Agency reported.

In an apparent attempt to also apply pressure on the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden, Kim said: "Whoever takes office in the U.S., its basic nature and hostile policy will never change."

Relations between North Korea and the U.S. would depend on "the U.S. withdrawing its hostile policy," he added.

Among the sophisticated weapons systems listed as being under development by Kim, were multi-warhead missiles, underwater-launched nuclear missiles and spy satellites which will bolster his country's ability to attack the U.S. mainland.

It's unclear if the secretive communist state is capable of developing such systems.

Kim spoke for nine hours during the ruling Workers' Party congress, the first in five years, KCNA reported. The congress is the party's top decision-making body, and comes amid a series of challenges for the country, including a fragile economy, the coronavirus pandemic and U.S.-led sanctions.
