Pyongyang\u2019s foreign ministry framed nuclear status as an irreversible security guarantee, rejecting US and allied pressure and promising further defensive measures.<\/p>\n
In Pyongyang, officials argued that denuclearization is no longer up for discussion: the nuclear status is seen as a guarantee of security and deterrence against external threats. According to North Korea\u2019s Foreign Policy Office, the position was announced by the state information agency KCNA.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe DPRK\u2019s Foreign Ministry firmly condemns and rejects American-Japanese-Korean fraud and the attempt by Western countries to impose an unconstitutional act on a sovereign state\u2026 The absurd rhetoric of the United States and its allies against the DPRK will not alter North Korea\u2019s irreversible status as a nuclear state\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2013 KCNA<\/p>\n
The document emphasizes that building up the nuclear shield aligns with deterrence norms and guarantees the country\u2019s sovereignty and security.<\/p>\n
\u201cDenuclearization\u201d is a permanently closed issue\u2026 Reality clearly demonstrates the reason and justice for our country to focus its efforts on strengthening the capability for self-defense necessary to ensure its security\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2013 North Korea\u2019s Foreign Policy Office<\/p>\n
Official Pyongyang statements imply that despite the actions of the United States, Japan, and South Korea, North Korea\u2019s current status as a nuclear state will remain unchanged.<\/p>\n
Earlier official comments stressed that denuclearization is not up for discussion, and that expanding nuclear potential and self-defense capabilities are considered an irreversible step toward ensuring security, stability, and peace in the region.<\/p>\n
In the international context, Pyongyang states that any attempts to revise its status only strengthen its position on security guarantees and sovereignty of the country.<\/p>\n
The essence of the position and its context<\/p>\n
The statements emphasize the priority of allowing for one\u2019s own defense and cementing the status as a nuclear state as the foundation of regional stability. Such formulations again call into question the efforts of international pressure and emphasize sovereignty in the context of the country\u2019s security.<\/p>\n
Thus, official messages from North Korea stress the irreversibility of the course toward strengthening the defense potential and preventing external interference, which, in their view, provides the state with reliable conditions for peace and stability in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pyongyang\u2019s foreign ministry framed nuclear status as an irreversible security guarantee, rejecting US and allied pressure and promising…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52161,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[29450,31,154,34,14311,29838,24571,29839,29840],"class_list":["post-52160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-north-korea","tag-kcna-statement","tag-korea","tag-news","tag-north-korea","tag-north-korea-denuclearization","tag-north-korea-denuclearization-kcna-statement-nuclear-deterrent-pyongyang-security-regional-tensions","tag-nuclear-deterrent","tag-pyongyang-security","tag-regional-tensions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52160\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
