Seoul North Korean leader Kim Jong-un publicly expressed his determination not to give up the country’s nuclear weapons, accusing the US of seeking the collapse of his regime, not just denuclearization, state media reported on Friday.
He made clear that Pyongyang has no intention of resuming negotiations for denuclearization, as the North’s rubber-stamp parliament approved a new nuclear force policy during a key session earlier this week, according to Pyongyang’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
“The aim of the US is not just to eliminate our nuclear weapons themselves but also ultimately to bring down our regime anytime by forcing (North Korea) to put down nuclear weapons and give up or weaken the power to exercise self-defence,” Kim was quoted as saying in his speech at the Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA) meeting on Thursday.
