DPRK Foreign Minister Issues Press Statement

Date: 14/11/2025 | Source: KCNA.kp (En) | Read original version at source

Pyongyang, November 14 (KCNA) -- Choe Son Hui, foreign minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, released the following press statement titled "G7 has no right to oppose the DPRK's sovereign option" on Nov. 13.

The press statement said:

In Canada, foreign ministers of G7 recently issued a joint statement talking about someone's "complete denuclearization", ignoring the Constitution of the DPRK and violating it.

I express strong dissatisfaction and regret at the undisguised hostile act of G7 foreign ministers, a direct violation of our state's Constitution, and categorically denounce and reject it by using the most powerful rhetorical expression.

The inert deep attachment of G7 that still habitually choruses "denuclearization" which the world recognizes as an impossible concept only drives itself to the edge of the international community and goes to prove that it is a neglected minority interest group in a corner of international relations.

The present position of the DPRK does not change according to the rhetorical assertion of the outsiders, and in the present grim geopolitical environment, the possession of nukes is the most correct option to deter the most dangerous and hostile states.

No one has the right to force us to violate the Constitution and they should not try to make us amend it.

The way of ensuring the peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in the Asia-Pacific region is not the advocating of the unrealistic "denuclearization" but the respecting of the Constitution of the DPRK.

As the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un clarified, the DPRK's possession of nukes will remain an invariable reality whether the U.S. and its allies like it or not, no matter how repeatedly they may clamor for "denuclearization" for 10 or 20 years, nay 50 or 100 years.

The international community needs to pay attention to the clear fact that a substantial nuclear threat to global peace and security is coming from G7, a nuclear alliance group linked and colluded with nukes, with the world's biggest nuclear weapons state at the forefront.

The evasive and double-standard behavior of G7, which remains silent about the reckless nuclear rhetoric threat and nuclear proliferation attempt openly manifested in its group and insists only on someone's "denuclearization" that has already lost its meaning and justification, can not go down with anyone.

G7 has no right to tell independent sovereign states how to defend their security and is not in a position to discuss the sovereign option of the DPRK.

Steadfast is the will of the DPRK to guarantee the present and future of the state and the people and realize international justice by remaining faithful to the Constitution which perpetuates the possession of nukes as long as outside nuclear threat is not terminated and there exist forces seeking absolute hegemony, regarding nuclear weapons as a means of tyranny. -0-
