SpaceWar.com reports: “North Korea’s permanent mission to the United Nations on Saturday called the isolated country a ‘responsible nuclear power.’

‘Today’s sobering reality is that the threat to international peace and security and the nuclear non-proliferation regime is being generated by the United States,’ the mission said in a statement published by North Korea’s Foreign Ministry.

North Korea said that the United States ‘unilaterally’ prioritizes the ‘narrow interests of itself and its allies’ on the U.N. Security Council and blasted the AUKUS alliance between the U.S., Britain and Australia announced in 2021.
