North Korea has issued a statement criticizing the United States and its Asian neighbors for what it calls an 'absurd' goal of denuclearizing the North. The statement, released by Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry, asserts that North Korea will continue to expand its nuclear forces under the leadership of Kim Jong Un.
The criticism comes in response to a recent meeting between the top diplomats of the US, South Korea, and Japan, where they reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening military cooperation and maintaining international sanctions against North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
