During the trilateral defense dialogue that the three countries held last week, it was agreed to carry out anti-missile and anti-submarine exercises on a regular basis in order to counter the threat posed by North Korean weapons advances.
Meanwhile, the North Korean Foreign Minister, Choe Son Huiassured that they will not give up nuclear weapons despite G7 warnings to “completely and irreversibly dismantle” the nuclear arsenal.
The joint statement of the G7 foreign ministerin which it was pointed out that North Korea can’t have nuclear weapons because of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) was described by Choe as “improper”, “illegal”, “absurd” and interfering in his sovereignty.
“North Korea’s position as a nuclear power is an indisputable reality, regardless of whether the US and the West do not recognize it for a hundred or a thousand years,” Choe said in a statement by the North Korean news agency. KCNA.
In addition, he recalled that his country has no obligation to the NPT, from which they withdrew 20 years ago.
The minister insisted that North Korea will continue with its policy of “strengthening its self-defense military capabilities” to deter the “threat” of the United States, whose security will only be guaranteed when “they eradicate their hostile policies.”
“The G7 is a group of a handful of selfish countries that does not represent the international community, but rather serves as a political tool to maintain US hegemony,” he concluded.
