N. Korea's will to keep nuclear weapons through 'all ages' irreversible: FM

North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui declared on Thursday that her nation's resolve to retain nuclear weapons is "irreversible" and will endure through all ages, according to state media reports. Choe harshly criticized recent trilateral negotiations involving South Korea, the United States, and Japan, which took place in New York on Monday.

These discussions reaffirmed the commitment to the complete denuclearization of North Korea and urged the country to resume dialogue. Speaking as the foreign minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Choe underscored, in a strongly worded statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency, the intransigent determination of her state to maintain nuclear weapons indefinitely.

She emphasized that there is no alteration in the fact that North Korea's nuclear weapons status will remain permanent.
