North Korea on Monday denounced a visit to Seoul by Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO Secretary General, as a « prelude » to war, saying the move could bring a « new Cold War » to the Asia-Pacific region.
In an article carried by the Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim Tong-myong, a researcher of the North’s organization on international political study, said Stoltenberg’s current trip appears to be aimed at « instigating » the creation of the Asian version of NATO, reports Yonhap News Agency.
« The trip of the NATO secretary general to South Korea and Japan is a prelude to confrontation and war as it brings the dark clouds of a ‘new Cold War’ to the Asia-Pacific region, » Kim said.
