North Korea states condition to stop nuclear tests

North Korea has eventually agreed to give up its nuclear programme but with a condition that the United States and its allies should stop blackmailing it.

The country’s official Korean Central News Agency took the oft-repeated stance on Saturday as it reviewed the country’s major nuclear weapons and missile tests this year.

North Korea conducted its most powerful nuclear test to date in September and launched three different intercontinental ballistic missiles into the sea in July and November.

These tests raised fears that the country is closer than ever to gaining a nuclear arsenal thatu could viably target the United States.

KCNA said North Korea’s “entity as an invincible power can neither be undermined nor be stamped out.”
