N. Korea Rejects Quad Denuclearisation Call, Says There Will "Never, Ever" Be Disarmament

North Korea said it will never abandon its nuclear weapons and accused the Quad of hostile confrontation after the group renewed sanctions pressure.

  • On Thursday, North Korea denounced the Quad nations for renewing calls for the "complete denuclearisation" of Pyongyang, reiterating that it will never abandon its nuclear weapons program.
  • Foreign ministers from the United States, Australia, India, and Japan reaffirmed their commitment to the "complete" denuclearization of North Korea in a joint statement issued Tuesday following their meeting in New Delhi.
  • Pyongyang "flatly" rejected the U.S.-led Quad's "hostile stance," accusing the grouping of serving as a political tool for U.S. unipolar dominance while interfering in sovereign affairs.
  • An official at South Korea's unification ministry noted that Pyongyang's response this year targeted Japan and Australia more prominently than before, while appearing to defend China's position.
  • The Quad ministers also raised concerns about countries deepening military cooperation with North Korea, warning that malicious cyber activities undermine the global non-proliferation regime.
