North Korea rejects calls by the Quad nations for its complete denuclearization, saying it will never abandon its nuclear weapons. After a joint statement issued by the top diplomats of the United States, Australia, Japan and India—meeting in New Delhi—the North Korean foreign ministry and a spokesperson denounce the message and reiterate Pyongyang’s position that “never, ever” any denuclearization will occur. The North characterizes the Quad as a U.S.-led political and diplomatic instrument that interferes with North Korea’s sovereignty and advances U.S. interests, including efforts described as unipolar dominance. The Quad nations say they remain committed to North Korea’s complete denuclearization and condemn the country’s nuclear weapons programs. North Korea’s response is reported by multiple outlets, citing South Korean news reporting, and frames the Quad’s stance as hostile and aimed at confrontation. Overall, the dispute centers on the Quad’s denuclearization demands versus North Korea’s stated refusal to dismantle its nuclear arsenal.
