North Korea’s foreign minister said today that the country’s status as a nuclear state is undeniable, “final and irreversible,” in response to the statement released at the end of the G7 meeting in Japan.
Choe Son-hui, who published a text on the official North Korean news agency, KCNA, responded to the heads of diplomacy of the Group of the seven most industrialized nations in the world (G7), who called on Pyongyang to abandon the weapons program, stating that “North Korea cannot and will never obtain nuclear state status under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.”
“The position of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea [RPDC, nome oficial do país] while the status of nuclear weapons remains an undeniable reality and it doesn’t matter if the US and the West don’t recognize it for a hundred or a thousand years,” he wrote.
Choe said that the G7 is “a handful of selfish countries that do not represent the international community and that serve as a political instrument to ensure the hegemony of the United States.” He also considered that “it is anachronistic to think that the right and ability to carry out a nuclear attack is exclusive to Washington.”
The North Korean official said North Korea’s development of the nuclear program “constitutes a fair exercise of sovereignty to deter the threat posed by the volatile security environment caused by reckless and provocative military maneuvers by the United States and its allies.”
Since Seoul and Washington began military exercises in March with the presence of US strategic assets such as aircraft carriers or bombers, Pyongyang has responded with a dozen weapons tests, including the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
“The US must take into account that its security can only be guaranteed when it completely eliminates the hostile policy towards the DPRK,” added the minister, guaranteeing that the Asian country’s status as a “world-class nuclear power is final and irreversible.” . “.
