Seoul: North Korea has said Biden policy is full of hostility and vowed a befitting response, according to reports.
Earlier, a White House statement on Friday said US officials had completed a months-long review of North Korean policy.
North Korea said the human rights criticism is a provocation that shows the United States is “girding itself up for an all-out showdown” with North Korea. It will be answered accordingly, the spokesman who did not wanted to be identified said.
Kwon Jong Gun, director general of the Department of US Affairs of the Foreign Ministry, said US talk of diplomacy is aimed at covering up its hostile acts and its deterrence is just a means for posing nuclear threats to North Korea.
Worthwhile to mention that talks aimed at persuading Pyongyang to surrender its nuclear weapons programme have been stalled since a series of summits between former President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un failed to be fruitful.
