North Korean Ambassador denies U.S. statements about Pyongyang's uranium enrichment program

North Korean Ambassador to Moscow Pak Ui Chun has disproved the United States' statements saying Pyongyang resumed its program of uranium enrichment.

Addressing a press conference in Moscow, the ambassador denied Washington's assertions that North Korea had admitted the existence of the aforementioned program during the recent visit to Pyongyang of the US special envoy James Kelly. According to his words, Kelly was only told, "unambiguously," that, what with the growing nuclear threat on the part of the USA, "the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was fully entitled to possess not only nuclear weapons but also mightier arms with the purpose of defending its sovereignty and the right to survive." Pak Ui Chun stressed that the USA had been unable to "furnish proof" that North Korea had resumed its uranium enrichment program - that had been the answer given to James Kelly before his return to the USA.
