24.09.2016
The North Korean Foreign Minister, Ri Yong-ho, spoke at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Thursday, during which he defended his countries widely condemned nuclear development programme as "righteous self defence" in the face of "constant nuclear threats from the United States."
The foreign minister laid the blame for the "out of control" situation on the Korean peninsula squarely with the United States and accused "United States led imperialist forces" of openly ignoring the "globally recognised fundamental principles of international relations" and pursuing "outrageous schemes for domination and intimidation."
Earlier in the week South Korean Foreign Minister, Yun Byung-se, questioned the validity of North Korea's UN membership citing their "repeated violations and non-compliance of security council regulations." Since 2006, the United Nations Security Council had adopted five resolutions sanctioning North Korea for continuing to develop its nuclear weapons programme.
