Kim made the comments during a visit to the defence ministry on Thursday, rallying soldiers to uphold the ideology of the ruling Workers' Party and defend the country with their lives, KCNA news agency reported.
"If enemies try to use force against our country, we will make the bold decision to change history and not hesitate to use all our super power to wipe them out," KCNA quoted him as saying.
Kim repeated his vow to never hold dialogue or negotiations with South Korea, which he said was his country's "enemy No.
1," and said the policy of powerful military readiness was the only way to ensure peace and security for North Korea, KCNA said.
North Korea has marked the foundation of its military on Feb. 8 and last year held a large military parade at midnight showcasing its largest intercontinental ballistic missiles.
