North Korea congress adopts decision to further boost nuclear capability

SEOUL - North Korea said it would further strengthen self-defensive nuclear weapons capability "in quality and quantity" in a decision adopted at a rare Workers' Party congress, its KCNA news agency reported on Monday.
The decision was adopted after a review of the work of the party's Central Committee on day three of the congress on Sunday, KCNA said.
The congress is the first to be held in 36 years amid anticipation by the South Korean government and experts that leader Kim Jong Un would use it to further consolidate power. Kim became leader in 2011 after his father's sudden death.
