North Korean leader Kim Jong-un officially designated South Korea the 'most hostile state' during a speech at the first session of the newly elected 15th Supreme People's Assembly, warning of 'merciless' consequences if provoked by Seoul and reaffirming the permanence of North Korea's nuclear arsenal.
