North Korea’s Kim Jong-un warns of ‘life-and-death struggle’ in 10th anniversary speech

Kim's focus on food and factories rather than nuclear weapons or US underscores country's economic crisis

The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, has capped off his 10th year in power with a speech that made more mention of tractor factories and school uniforms than nuclear weapons or the United States.

North Korea's main goals for 2022 will be jump-starting economic development and improving people's lives as it faces a great life-and-death struggle", Kim told a meeting of the ruling party's central committee on Friday.
