In a recent statement, North Korea vehemently criticised the United States and its allies for pursuing what it deems an “absurd” and “outdated” goal of denuclearization. According to state-run media, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry has labelled the denuclearization efforts as “impossible.” It has reaffirmed its commitment to bolstering its nuclear capabilities under Kim Jong Un’s leadership.
The Foreign Ministry’s statement emphasized that North Korea’s nuclear capabilities serve as a means of self-defense against perceived threats and blackmail from the United States. The ministry asserted that these nuclear forces are essential for protecting the country’s sovereignty and maintaining peace. As long as the U.S. and its allies continue their hostile policies, North Korea will persist in strengthening its nuclear arsenal to deter any challenges to its sovereignty.
North Korea’s stance comes in response to recent diplomatic efforts by the United States, South Korea, and Japan, who have reaffirmed their commitment to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Despite these efforts, North Korea remains resolute in its position, viewing the denuclearization goal as impractical and unrealistic.
The statement from North Korea’s Foreign Ministry underscores the country’s determination to adhere to its new line of bolstering its nuclear force, as clarified by Kim Jong Un. The ministry warned that any attempts by the U.S. and its allies to encroach upon North Korea’s sovereignty would be met with decisive counteraction.
As the geopolitical landscape continues to evolve, North Korea’s unwavering commitment to its nuclear program highlights the ongoing challenges in achieving denuclearization and maintaining stability in the region.
