North Korea's number-two leader has told a gathering of military leaders in Pyongyang that the Korean peninsula is on the brink of war.
And South Korea's defence ministry has revealed that the North has begun a massive deployment of troops, artillery and tanks near Pyongyang but many believe this could be for a military parade designed as a show of the communist state's vast arsenal. The developments come as former US President Jimmy Carter arrived in North Korea to secure the release of an American citizen sentenced to eight years hard labour for illegally entering the country.
Presenter: Mark Willacy
Speakers: Kim Yong-nam, president of the Presidium of the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly; PJ Crowley, spokesman for the US State Department
(crowd cheering)
MARK WILLACY: It was three cheers all round for the Dear Leader at the Pyongyang gymnasium as North Korea's top brass got together to mark 50 years of the country's Military First policy.
There wasn't a dishevelled peasant in sight only row after row of pressed olive green army uniforms topped with gigantic epaulettes. And the master of ceremonies was the hermit kingdom's number two leader Kim Yong-nam.
KIM YONG-NAM (translation): Despite our nation's economic crisis we are now able to produce as many innovative weapons as we want, all by supporting the party's revolutionary line.
(Applause)
MARK WILLACY: But after heaping praise on his nation's supposed industrial and military achievements, Kim Yong-nam waited for the choreographed applause to die down before issuing a warning to Seoul and its ally in Washington.
KIM YONG-NAM (translation): Because of the US imperialists and their South Korean puppet group of traitors' reckless military provocation against our republic, the peninsula is on the brink of war. This is the worst situation ever.
MARK WILLACY: North Korea's military is certainly on the move with the defence ministry in Seoul tracking large deployments of troops, tanks and artillery rolling closer to the capital Pyongyang.
They'll likely be used in a show of military might, a massive parade to mark the first meeting of the North Korean Workers' Party in 30 years.
That meeting next month could be used to officially announce Kim Jong-Il's third son Jong-un as the Dear Leader's successor.
But any moment now there's likely to be another crucial meeting between North Korea's leadership and the former US President Jimmy Carter.
Mr Carter has travelled to Pyongyang to win the freedom of Aijalon Gomes a 30-year old American and devout Christian who blundered across the Chinese border into North Korea seven months ago.
Sentenced to eight years hard labour for illegally entering the closed communist state, it was later reported that Gomes had tried to commit suicide.
PJ Crowley is a spokesman for the US State Department.
PJ CROWLEY: We're interested in getting Mr Gomes returned to the United States as we've said throughout we are concerned about his health and welfare. We are doing everything in our power to see him returned to the United States.
MARK WILLACY: It's understood the North Koreans had agreed to release Aijalon Gomes if Jimmy Carter made the trip to Pyongyang.
A year ago another former US President, Bill Clinton, made the same pilgrimage, securing the release of two American reporters who had also crossed into the hermit kingdom.
