This was just six days after the country launched a medium-range ballistic missile from somewhere near Pyongyang\u2019s Sunan Airbase into the East Sea on Feb. 27.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe DPRK National Aerospace Development Administration [NADA] and the Academy of Defence Science conducted another important test on Saturday under the plan of developing a reconnaissance satellite,\u201d reported the KCNA on Sunday. \u201cThrough the test, the NADA confirmed the reliability of the data transmission and reception system of the satellite, its control command system and various ground-based control systems.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ostensibly, the missile launch was to help develop a reconnaissance satellite. But because it is possible to immediately convert a rocket into an ICBM just by changing its payload, the launch amounted to a strategic message aimed at the US.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korea is essentially using opportune timing to provoke a response from the US, neutralizing red lines and winning recognition as a nuclear power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite this, the international community \u2014 including the US \u2014 has leveled no additional sanctions that could directly affect Pyongyang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UN Security Council convened two emergency meetings on Feb. 4 and Feb. 28 to discuss North Korea\u2019s missile provocations. However, these meetings produced little because of Chinese and Russian opposition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UN Security Council is now unlikely to place additional sanctions on North Korea with the Ukraine crisis bringing tensions between the US and Russia to the fore, along with tensions between the US and China.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In North Korea, the authorities continue to push propaganda that underscores the importance of bolstering national defense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within the North Korean military, the authorities are educating soldiers to believe that Pyongyang can maintain peace only by strengthening its defensive power through nuclear weapons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said the authorities have been calling for bolstering North Korea\u2019s \u201cindependent national defense\u201d much more since the war in Ukraine began. He said officials stress \u200cthat Ukraine demonstrates how \u201cpeace rests upon guns and swords.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UN Security Council held a closed door meeting on Monday to discuss North Korea\u2019s missile provocations. However, the body failed to adopt a press statement because of Chinese and Russian noncooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/20220308-3\/\">Read in Korean<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, Pyongyang has been concentrating on ways to make North Korea a greater priority in US foreign policy.
