North Korea’ Ambassador to the UN, Kim Song, addresses the 78th United Nations General Assembly at UN headquarters in New York City on September 26, 2023. AFPPIX: North Korea’s UN envoy accused the US and South Korea on Tuesday of pushing the Korean peninsula closer to the brink of nuclear war, telling the UN General Assembly that as a result his country had no choice but to further accelerate a build-up of its self-defence capabilities.
“Given the prevailing circumstances, the DPRK is urgently required to further accelerate the build-up of its self-defence capabilities to defend itself impregnably,” Kim told the 193-member General Assembly. Pyongyang says it is exercising its right to self-defence with its ballistic missile tests to safeguard its sovereignty and security interests from military threats.
North Korea – formally known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea – has been under UN Security Council sanctions for its missile and nuclear programs since 2006. The measures have been steadily strengthened over the years.
