In a Rare UN Appearance, Senior North Korean Diplomat Insists His Country Won’t Give up Nukes

North Korea insists its nuclear weapons are essential for sovereignty and deterrence amid ongoing U.S.-led military drills and international sanctions, reaffirming its constitutional right.

  • A senior North Korean diplomat stated that Pyongyang will "never renounce its nuclear program under any circumstances," considering it a "sacred" asset that should not be tampered with.
  • The diplomat emphasized that relinquishing the nuclear program would mean surrendering sovereignty and violating the Constitution.
  • U.S. President Donald Trump's administration maintains a commitment to the "complete" denuclearization of North Korea, while Kim Jong-un is open to conditional dialogue.
  • The remarks were made during the official's speech, the first by a high-level North Korean diplomat at the UN Assembly since 2018.
