The North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued an official statement in which it resolutely rejected the U.S. request for nuclear disarmament.
As reported by the American publication "The Washington Post," North Korea's foreign ministry emphasized that Pyongyang will never abandon its nuclear program under any circumstances.
This step is yet another confirmation of the hardline stance of the North Korean leadership in light of Washington's unsuccessful attempts to resume negotiations on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
Official representatives of North Korea reminded that Pyongyang enshrined its nuclear status in national legislation back in 2022.
The country's leader, Kim Jong-un, has repeatedly and firmly ruled out any possibility of giving up the nuclear potential in exchange for any economic or political concessions from the international community.
In Pyongyang, the possession of nuclear weapons is viewed as the only reliable tool for deterring external aggression and ensuring the survival of the ruling regime.
The strengthening of North Korea's nuclear status and its uncompromising position in dialogue with the U.S. may serve as a dangerous precedent for Iran.
According to the news agency, the White House expressed deep regret regarding Pyongyang's position, noting that the refusal to engage in dialogue only exacerbates the international isolation of the Democratic People's Republic.
