Kim Yo-jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, denounced a recent United Nations nuclear watchdog resolution against Pyongyang's nuclear program on Saturday. She affirmed the country's commitment to preserving its nuclear capabilities, attributing this stance to threats from the United States and other nations. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) adopted the resolution during its 70th General Conference in Vienna on Thursday.
The resolution reaffirmed that North Korea could not hold nuclear-weapons-state status under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and urged Pyongyang to cease all related activities immediately. Kim criticized the IAEA's resolution, stating that it unjustly targets North Korea's self-defensive and legitimate nuclear activities while ignoring the constant external nuclear threats to the country's security. This statement was published by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
