Pyongyang: North Korea has made a definitive announcement regarding its nuclear policy, stating that the issue of denuclearization is permanently resolved. A spokesperson for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) confirmed that North Korea's denuclearization is both theoretically and practically complete, and it is an irreversible matter.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) quoted the spokesperson claiming that any discussions about North Korea's denuclearization are no longer relevant or effective. The spokesperson emphasized that statements from the United States, Japan, and South Korea on this issue cannot influence North Korea's position.

Further statements from Pyongyang suggested that the focus of denuclearization should shift towards Japan and South Korea, as there are concerns about these nations seeking to acquire nuclear weapons with U.S. support. The statement also highlighted fears of a nuclear confrontation involving NATO member states and their mechanisms for joint use of U.S. nuclear weapons.

North Korea has consistently maintained that its nuclear-armed status is "final and irreversible." The DPRK has warned that any attempts by the United States or other Western countries to reopen discussions on its denuclearization are destined to fail.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has reaffirmed that possessing nuclear weapons is an inherent right of the DPRK as a sovereign state. He argues that these weapons are essential to deter external threats, with the country's nuclear status being enshrined in law.
