North Korea Denounces Quad's Denuclearisation Demands Amid Rising Tensions

North Korea has rejected calls from the Quad nations for complete denuclearisation, accusing the group of political interference and supporting US dominance. The country reaffirmed its stance to retain nuclear capabilities, calling the Quad's position hostile and urging them to halt actions undermining regional peace and stability.

North Korea has openly condemned the Quad nations' joint call for its complete denuclearisation, dismissing it as interference in its sovereign affairs, Yonhap reports.

The statement from the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, consisting of India, Australia, Japan, and the United States, emphasized the urgency of Pyongyang's denuclearisation, leveraging a firm diplomatic tone during their recent meeting in New Delhi.

North Korea's foreign ministry responded by reinforcing its commitment to its nuclear weapons program, labeling the Quad's position as a mechanism of US unipolar dominance while urging the grouping to steer away from actions that compromise regional stability.
