Soldiers from North Korea center and South Korea at Panmunjom a border village
Pompeo said US intelligence on North Korea had improved in the past year and "remarkable creativity" had helped in the interdiction of shipments to North Korea violating United Nations sanctions.
Mike Pompeo speaks in Washington, DC.
"It is not a healthy thing to be a senior leader and bring bad news to King Jong-un", he added, joking that such a person should buy life insurance first. Mr Pompeo said at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank in Washington.
The Kim Jong-un regime is known to engage in showcasing its military might during the anniversary and is likely to display a parade in February as well.
Rare appearance: Central Intelligence Agency director Mike Pompeo said North Korea's nuclear weapons program has developed at a 'very rapid clip, ' but that Kim is hoping for an arsenal of nuclear weapons - 'not one, not a showpiece, not something to drive on a parade route'.
The quest for reunification is disputed by some North Korean experts who see Kim's nuclear programme as primarily a means of retaining power and do not think he would threaten or forcibly try to take over South Korea.
The disturbing revelation comes weeks after photos emerged of North Korea soldiers foraging for food in the forests and fields, picking seeds and roots from the ground as the global embargo against the communist regime took hold.
"From an intelligence perspective, we're trying to ensure that all the various options that the president might want to consider are fully informed, that we understand what's really going on and the risks associated with each of those decisions as best we can identify them for him". "Our mission is to make the day he can do that as far away as possible", Pompeo said.

North Korea is developing missile and nuclear technology amid regular threats to destroy the United States and Japan and in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions.
Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Pompeo said his agency believes North Korea's missile program is aimed at coercion and just not self-defense. It's imperative to our nation's national security to push for diplomatic efforts with North Korea and ensure President Trump can not attack North Korea without prior approval of Congress.
"We're working to prepare a series of options to make sure that we can deliver a range of things so the president will have the full suite of possibilities".
USA policy towards the North has included tougher sanctions and stepped-up efforts to halt the country's seaborne trade with ship interdictions. We're taking the real-world actions that we think will make unmistakable to Kim Jong Un that we are intent on denuclearization.
"I am proudly saying that DPRK's nuclear force is capable of frustrating and countering any nuclear threats from the U.S. and it constitutes a powerful deterrent that prevents the USA from starting an adventurous war". "We're pretty confident on that".
"We need to talk to the North Koreans - unconditional talks", DeTrani said.
'There is much effort all across the US government to ensure that Americans don't have to feel at risk, ' Pompeo said.
"We saw what happened in Hawaii". We have an obligation to the American people to do that."I've made a number of changes, one of which is to make sure we're providing the information so that the Department of Justice can do its good work at bringing these traitors to heel in USA courts".
