Pyongyang "bitterly criticized" those responsible for last month's failed rocket launch. But officials said progress was being made on ballistic missile technology and the country's nuclear program.
Ednews informs via DW that North Korea vowed on Sunday to launch a second space rocket after calling last month's botched attempt at launching a satellite the "gravest failure."
The North Korean government has ordered researchers and other workers to analyze the failed launch and prepare for another one in the future.
The comments were made at a key meeting for the ruling Workers' Party of Korea in Pyongyang that ran from Friday to Sunday.
Party officials at the meeting "bitterly criticized the officials who irresponsibly conducted the preparations for (the) satellite launch," state news agency KCNA said.
