A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued the following press statement on June 13:

The US and its satellite countries had such confabs for nuclear war as a "nuclear consultative group" meeting and "extended deterrence dialogue" and let loose rhetoric about the nuclear threat to the DPRK and clamoured for someone's "denuclearization" again.

It is an unreasonable talk and fantastic daydream to mention the removal of the other belligerent party's nuclear weapons in meetings for adopting it as a policy to use nuclear weapons targeting the DPRK and other regional countries and for hatching a detailed plan for it.

The DPRK Foreign Ministry roundly denounces and rejects the nuclear confrontation racket of collective nature of the US, Japan and the ROK and the sinister attempt of Western countries to impose an unconstitutional act on a sovereign state in the international arena and warns of the consequences to be entailed by the repetition of such provocations.

The meaningless anti-DPRK rhetoric and cooperation in posing a nuclear threat employed by the US and its vassal forces can never affect the irreversible position of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state.

The "denuclearization" is an irreversibly finalized matter.

The US is busy with war moves simulating the use of nuclear weapons while massively delivering various types of military hardware, including latest air-to-air missile, to the ROK and Japan. The reality clearly proves the reason and justness for our state to concentrate its efforts on bolstering up the capacity for self-defence essential for ensuring its security.

The building up of our nuclear shield is a legitimate process for deterring interference and threat from outside, guaranteeing the sovereignty and security of the state and ensuring regional peace and stability.

To cope with the enemy countries' daily-growing nuclear threat to it, our state is taking military and technical countermeasures in an all-round scope, the countermeasures making the most of its capabilities and means of every category.

The DPRK is firm and unshakable in its determination to control and manage with nuclear weapons the nuclear threat by the enemy countries, which try to encroach upon its absolutely inviolable sovereignty and security on the principle of ensuring security and defending peace by dint of powerful strength.

No matter how hard the US, Japan and the ROK may quibble, they will never be able to change the present position of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state.

No one can recover the "denuclearization" that permanently went missing in the trend of the times.

The expansion of the DPRK's nuclear capacity and its capability for self-defence based on it is irreversible and constitutes a strong security guarantee for regional stability and peacekeeping.
