North Korea on Thursday denounced what it called a U.S.-led naval buildup and nuclear submarine programs, warning it would counter the growing naval threat with unspecified "action." Kim Jong-sik, first vice department director of the Central Committee of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea, made the remarks in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). "Arms build-up of the U.S. and its vassal allies for seizing a maritime edge in the Asia-Pacific region has emerged as a new dangerous factor seriously disturbing regional peace and security," Kim said. He described nuclear submarine programs in South Korea, Japan and Australia as the "detailed implementation" of a new U.S. security strategy aimed at "securing the maritime hegemony." "This has become a root cause of seriously undermining the strategic balance in the region and sparking off a new arms race," he claimed. The enemies' naval buildup and the threat it poses to its security are "a very grave challenge," he said, and the North's response "will not be merely confined to denouncing it." "We will deter all threats b

North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui denounced Thursday a joint call from major countries for denuclearization of the regime, saying its commitment to nuclear buildup remains "steadfast." Choe made the remarks in a commentary released by state media, after the Group of Seven (G7) advanced nations issued a joint statement following their foreign ministers' meeting in Paris earlier this week.

Security Council (UNSC) resolutions. The UNSC resolutions ban Pyongyang from developing those weapons. "I strongly condemn and reject the G7's vicious criticism about our state's constitutional right and reaffirm the DPRK's steadfast will for nuclear possession in the clearest terms," Choe said in the commentary, carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). DPRK is short for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. "Immutable is our judgment and

South Korea's foreign ministry said Thursday it would maintain its commitment to supporting Ukraine despite a diplomatic dispute over Kyiv's transfer of North Korean prisoners of war to Seoul. "As a responsible member of the international community, we will continue to maintain our principled position on providing assistance to Ukraine," a foreign ministry official told AFP. The JoongAng Ilbo newspaper reported this week that the foreign ministry requested around $100 million in aid for Ukraine in next year's budget, including $50 million for a NATO trust fund and $20 million in humanitarian assistance. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said in July that the country had pledged $100 million in comprehensive assistance to Ukraine at a NATO summit. "Our government will continue to provide humanitarian assistance needed by the Ukrainian people while also taking part in international efforts to support Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction," Lee said at the time. The foreign ministry official's comment followed tensions between the two countries sparked by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zel
