“A handful of selfish countries”
“The position of the DPRK [République populaire démocratique de Corée] as a world-class nuclear power is final and irreversible.replied Choe Son-hui, in a statement published by the official KCNA news agency.
For the Minister, the “G7, a closed group of a handful of selfish countries, does not represent the international community [de manière] just, but serves as a political tool to ensure the hegemony of the United States “.
Pyongyang has recently increased its ballistic missile tests and had already announced in 2022 that its status as a nuclear power was “irreversible”.
