North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the country would not use a nuclear weapon unless its sovereignty is encroached by "invasive hostile forces with nuclear weapons," according to the country's state news agency KCNA.
Kim said he is ready to improve ties with “hostile” nations, and called for more talks with rival South Korea to reduce misunderstanding and distrust between them.
He also urged the United States to stay away from inter-Korean issues, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
He said that North Korea “will sincerely fulfill its duties for the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and work to realize the denuclearization of the world.”
