North Korea Declares Intention To Strengthen Nuclear Potential

Kim Jong-un

On Monday, March 17, 2025, North Korea made a strong statement, reaffirming its commitment to developing nuclear capabilities. Pyongyang has rejected calls from the G7 to abandon its nuclear ambitions, saying that the country's nuclear armed forces will exist forever as a powerful means of protecting sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The G7's calls for North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions have been strongly rejected by Pyongyang. The North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the country's nuclear armed forces are an integral part of national security and sovereignty. "Our nuclear armed forces will exist forever as a powerful means of justice that protects the sovereignty of the state, territorial integrity and fundamental interests," the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said in a statement.

North Korea has announced its intention to "constantly update and strengthen" its nuclear potential. This means that Pyongyang will continue to invest in the development of nuclear technology and weapons, despite international pressure and sanctions. The country's authorities are confident that only powerful nuclear armed forces can guarantee the security and independence of North Korea in the face of geopolitical instability.

North Korea's statement has caused concern in the international community. The G7 countries, including the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, have repeatedly called on Pyongyang to denuclearize and comply with international obligations. However, Pyongyang continues to ignore these calls, arguing that nuclear weapons are the only reliable means of protection against external threats.

Inside North Korea, the statement about the need to strengthen nuclear capabilities is being used as a propaganda tool. The country's authorities emphasize that nuclear weapons are a symbol of national power and independence. This message is aimed at strengthening patriotic feelings among the population and maintaining the regime.

The continuation of North Korea's nuclear program poses serious risks to regional and global security. The possibility of a nuclear conflict on the Korean peninsula remains a real threat.
