North Korea says 'denuclearisation' is a matter terminated irreversibly
Pyongyang rejected US-led denuclearisation calls and said its nuclear arsenal is a final safeguard for regional stability, after allies reaffirmed that goal in Tokyo.
- On Sunday, North Korea declared its nuclear weapons status "irreversible," rejecting international demands for denuclearisation following a trilateral meeting between the United States, Japan, and South Korea.
- The KCNA spokesperson cited Washington's arms sales to Seoul and Tokyo as justification, framing the arsenal as "a strong security guarantee for regional stability and peace."
- Pyongyang earlier this month called the policy a "line of no retreat," while diplomatic talks with President Donald Trump collapsed in 2019 after the Hanoi summit failed to reach agreement.
- Dismissing the allies' position, the spokesperson declared denuclearisation an "irreversibly finalised matter," stating "no one can recover the 'denuclearisation' permanently missed in the trend of the times."
- Recent meetings between China's President Jinping and Kim in Pyongyang omitted denuclearisation, illustrating the divergence between the North's stance and international expectations for the Korean Peninsula.
