North Korea firmly states: Nuclear power status has been permanently established

North Korea: Permanent establishment.

On September 15, the US, Japan, and South Korea conducted joint military exercises named "Blade of Freedom." The North Korean mission to the United Nations issued a statement through the Korean Central News Agency, strongly responding, emphasizing that North Korea's status as a nuclear-armed state has been permanently established and is irreversible.

In recent days, North Korea has been active with increasingly firm positions: Last week, when North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited a weapons research facility, he clearly stated that North Korea will simultaneously promote the development of nuclear weapons and conventional military forces; on the same day, the Korean Central News Agency published an article condemning the US-Japan-South Korea joint military exercises, calling them a "serious threat," forcing North Korea to "maintain a nuclear force response posture"; subsequently, Kim Yo-jong, vice chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea Central Committee, also criticized the US-Japan-South Korea joint military exercises as a "dangerous act," warning that such actions "will eventually lead to bad consequences."

Facing the continuous military exercises by the US, Japan, and South Korea, North Korea has taken a firm stance, clearly stating that it "will never give up nuclear weapons." This position is a response to external security threats — under strong military pressure, North Korea believes that maintaining nuclear deterrence is a necessary guarantee for its own security.
