The DPRK leader underscored the necessity of a major overhaul of past practices through constitutional revision to define the country's territorial sphere, including its territorial land, waters and airspace, and to envision a possible war-time scenario with Republic of Korea, citing the fact that the DPRK has completely eliminated the original concept of designating Republic of Koreans as the partner for reconciliation and reunification and the fellow countrymen and branded Republic of Korea as the most hostile state, the report said.
