North Korea reacted strongly to the joint statement issued after the G7 foreign ministers' meeting held in Canada.



In a written statement from the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was noted that the foreign ministers of the G7 countries called on the Pyongyang administration to end its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, stating, "We are deeply concerned about the G7 members, who are the biggest obstacle to efforts to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons and to ensure world peace and security, questioning the right of a sovereign state to possess a war deterrent with hostile rhetoric."



"NO TOLERANCE FOR INTERFERENCE"



The statement emphasized that North Korea would not tolerate interference in its sovereignty and internal affairs, accusing, "It is the G7 countries that use nuclear weapons as a fundamental tool to achieve their aggressive and hegemonic political and military objectives, and engage in illegal and malicious nuclear proliferation activities under the guise of 'nuclear sharing' and 'extended deterrence.'



G7 COUNTRIES HAVE TURNED INTO A NUCLEAR CRIME ORGANIZATION



The statement claimed that the G7 countries are responsible for nuclear tensions in the world, stating, "All facts show that the G7, consisting of the US and its allies, is responsible for the international nuclear crisis and the escalation of this crisis, and that the first to completely and irreversibly abandon nuclear weapons should be the G7 countries." The statement argued that the G7 is pursuing nuclear hegemony, saying, "The G7, which has turned into a nuclear crime organization that seriously threatens international peace and security, must rid itself of its outdated nuclear hegemony ambitions before talking about 'nuclear disarmament' and 'abandoning nuclear weapons.'



"OUR NUCLEAR POWER WILL CONTINUE TO BE A TOOL OF JUSTICE"



The statement emphasized that the Pyongyang administration would continue its nuclear weapons development activities without slowing down, stating, "North Korea's nuclear power status, defined by its own laws, does not depend on anyone's recognition. Our nuclear power will continue to be a strong tool of justice to defend our sovereignty, territorial integrity, and fundamental interests, to prevent war on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia, and to ensure strategic stability in the world."



The statement added, "North Korea will continue to renew and strengthen its nuclear weapons capacity in both quality and quantity in response to external nuclear threats, and as a responsible nuclear power, it will defend the peace and security of the country, the region, and the world."
