North Korea said on Sunday denuclearization is a matter that is terminated irreversibly, as it condemned recent nuclear deterrence talks between the US and South Korea.
– “The US and its vassal forces’ meaningless rhetoric against the DPRK and cooperation in posing a nuclear threat to it can never affect the irreversible position of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state,” a spokesperson for North Korea’s foreign ministry said in a statement carried by state media KCNA, using the country’s official name.
– “The ‘denuclearization’ is an irreversibly finalized matter,” it said.
– Last week, the US and South Korean officials discussed strengthening nuclear deterrence and readiness against North Korea’s growing weapons program at talks in Seoul under their Nuclear Consultative Group (NCG).
