Pyongyang, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) — Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of state affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, said North Korea could resume talks with the United States if Washington abandons its fixation on denuclearization and seeks peaceful coexistence with the DPRK.

As the official Korean Central News Agency reported on Monday, Kim Jong-un made the statement on the second day of the 13th session of the 14th Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK, noting that he still has "good memories" of US President Donald Trump.

The DPRK will never give up its nuclear weapons, Kim Jong-un emphasized. While acknowledging that the current US and Republic of Korea (ROK) governments outwardly demonstrate a willingness to engage in dialogue and strive to improve relations, the North Korean leader nonetheless stated that their true goal remains the same: to weaken the DPRK and destroy its state system.

The DPRK is firmly committed to ensuring security and protecting peace, Kim Jong-un said.

Speaking about relations with the Republic of Korea, he stated that the DPRK will not sit down at the negotiating table with this country or do anything together with it. –0–

Moscow, September 22 (Xinhua) — The expiration of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START-3) on February 5, 2026, means the end of the last agreement on direct limitations on missile potential, but Russia is prepared to comply with the treaty's terms for another year, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday at a meeting with the Russian Security Council.

"Russia is prepared to continue adhering to the central quantitative restrictions under the New START Treaty for one year after February 5, 2026. Subsequently, based on an analysis of the situation, we will make a decision on the continued maintenance of these voluntary self-restrictions," Vladimir Putin stated.

The Russian President explained this decision not only by his desire to avoid provoking a further strategic arms race, but also by his desire to ensure “an acceptable level of predictability and restraint.”

V. Putin noted that this measure would be viable only if the United States did not take steps that would undermine the balance of existing deterrent potentials.

The New START Treaty was signed by the United States and Russia in 2010 for a period of 10 years, with the possibility of a five-year extension. The treaty entered into force in 2011. Under the treaty, the parties committed to reducing the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, their launchers and warheads, as well as heavy bombers and their nuclear weapons. In 2021, Vladimir Putin ratified the agreement to extend the treaty until February 5, 2026. –0–
