North Korea has slammed the UN Security Council over its recent missile tests, accusing it of double standards. According to Reuters, North Korea launched a new type of short-range ballistic missile last week at a request from Washington to the UN Security Council’s sanctions committee. According to Jo Chol Su, director general of international organizations at North Korea’s foreign ministry, at a committee meeting on Friday, the United States called for additional sanctions on North Korea, calling the test a violation of UN resolutions. Impose and strictly enforce existing sanctions. Joe Chol Su said the meeting was called to disregard our right to self-defense and warned of retaliation.
According to a statement issued by North Korea’s official KCNA news agency, Jo Chol Su said that in the light of UN resolutions, it was a denial of a sovereign state in the US and a clear double standard. “It is incomprehensible why our defense move is being openly condemned when so many countries around the world are firing missiles to augment their defense and military strength,” he added. The statement came as North Korea criticized US President Joe Biden’s missile test as a “first step in the wrong direction and a sign of deep hostility.” “We are in contact with our allies and partners and we will respond appropriately if North Korea’s provocative actions escalate,” Biden said.
