At the meeting, Kim\u2018s \u2018immense victory against the US\u2019 was the primary point of emphasis, without any reference to denuclearization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;As soon as he (Kim Jong Un) returned, an emergency meeting was organized for all executives above the elementary Party secretary-level. They focused on propagating news that the Eternal Supreme Leader walked a long and treacherous road to achieve a huge victory against the almighty United States, and that everything was going according to his plans,&#8221; a source in North Hamgyong Province told Daily NK during a telephone call on June 15.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Not a word was said about denuclearization during the meeting.
