THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: N. Korea's FM vows to counter US nuke threat


North Korean foreign minister Ri-Su-yong said that the communist nation had no choice but develop nuclear weapons to deal against US nuclear threats. Ri made the remark during a keynote speech at a high-level meeting of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals at UN headquarters, claiming the US is currently conducting what he calls nuclear war exercises on the Korean Peninsula. Ri also said that sanctions are a challenge to sustainable development, but the country will not give in to such measures.

The North Korean foreign minister arrived in New York for the signing of a historic UN climate agreement set for Friday.
