Pyongyang will take measures to prepare for a long-term confrontation with the US in the field of nuclear deterrence, according to a statement by the head of the foreign information division of the information department of the DPRK Foreign Ministry, published by the Central Telegraphic Agency (CTAC).
A statement by the head of the Foreign Information Division of the Information Department of the DPRK Foreign Ministry noted that the US and South Korea recently held a meeting of the Nuclear Consultative Group and conducted a conditional nuclear exercise within the framework of the group.
The foreign ministry expressed concern over the “reckless behaviour of hostile forces that provoke the growing threat of a nuclear clash and demonstrate attempts to launch a nuclear attack on a sovereign state.”
“The essential reason for the deterioration of the security situation on the Korean Peninsula and in the region today is precisely the United States, which is intensifying military collusion with its satellites, fabricating one after another nuclear confrontation programmes and aggravating the nuclear threat to sovereign states,” the Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin called Western ideas of a new world order hypocrisy. According to him, they are aimed solely at preserving the neo-colonial system, showing their essence in the form of “hypocrisy, double standards and claims”.
