(MENAFN) North Korea railed the new security deal amid the US, UK and Australia, naming it “extremely undesirable” and advising that it could trigger a “nuclear arms race.”
A Foreign Ministry official announced about the AUKUS contract, under that the US and UK is going to offer Australia technology to construct nuclear-powered submarines “These are extremely undesirable and dangerous acts which will upset the strategic balance in the Asia-Pacific region and trigger off a chain of nuclear arms race.”
The ministry’s Foreign News section leader informed the official Korean Central News Agency that disapproval from local nations, with China, is “natural” and Pyongyang intends to “certainly take a corresponding counteraction.”
He added that similar “irresponsible” acts can be the reason of “destroying the peace and stability of the region and the international nuclear non-proliferation system and of catalyzing the arms race.”
