Pyongyang, November 14 (Xinhua) — North Korea on Thursday condemned the recent joint statement by the Group of Seven (G7) foreign ministers in Canada calling for the "complete denuclearization" of the DPRK, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Friday.

"The current status of the DPRK will not change under the influence of foreign rhetoric and insistent demands. In today's harsh geopolitical environment, possessing nuclear weapons is the most accurate choice for deterring the most dangerous states," KCNA quoted Foreign Minister Choi Son-hui as saying.

According to her, the G7 poses a significant nuclear threat to global peace and security, and the group has no right to tell independent sovereign states how to protect their security.

“The DPRK intends to guarantee the present and future of the state and people and ensure international justice by remaining faithful to the Constitution, which enshrines the right to possess nuclear weapons, until the external nuclear threat is eliminated and as long as there are forces that seek absolute hegemony and consider nuclear weapons a means of tyranny,” said Choi Song-hee. –0–
