North Korea abandoned its commitment to halt nuclear and missile tests, blaming the U.S. for failing to meet a year-end deadline for nuclear talks
GENEVA - North Korea said on Tuesday it was no longer bound by commitments to halt nuclear and missile testing, blaming the United States’ failure to meet a year-end deadline for nuclear talks and “brutal and inhumane” U.S. sanctions.
Ju Yong Chol, a counselor at North Korea’s mission to the U.N. in Geneva, said that over the past two years, his country had halted nuclear tests and test firing of inter-continental ballistic missiles “in order to build confidence with the United States”. Speaking as the envoy from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea , North Korea’s official name, Ju accused the United States of applying “the most brutal and inhumane sanctions”.
U.S. military commanders said any new path could include the testing of a long-range missile, which North Korea has suspended since 2017, along with nuclear warhead tests.U.S. disarmament ambassador Robert Wood voiced concern at Pyongyang’s remarks and said Washington hoped the North would return to the negotiating table.
“Therefore, early resumption of negotiations between the United States and the DPRK is critical,” he said. FILE PHOTO: A North Korean flag flies on a mast at the Permanent Mission of North Korea in Geneva October 2, 2014. REUTERS/Denis Balibouse/File Picture
