Kim Son Gyong, North Korea’s Vice Foreign Minister, stressed that his country will never abandon its nuclear arsenal, considering nuclear disarmament a threat to its sovereignty and existence.

In his speech, Gyong said: “Imposing nuclear disarmament on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is tantamount to demanding that it renounce sovereignty and the right to exist, and it violates our constitution.”
He added: “We will never give up nuclear weapons, which are our national law, our national policy, our sovereign power, and our right to exist. Under no circumstances will we ever retreat from this position.”
However, Gyong left the door slightly open for diplomacy, affirming his country’s readiness to cooperate with nations that “reject aggression and hegemony, and strive for independence and justice.”
This statement comes a week after a report by the Korean Central News Agency noted that leader Kim Jong Un expressed openness to dialogue with the United States, on the condition that his country retains its nuclear arsenal.
