North Korea has issued a strong condemnation of the Quad nations—comprising India, Australia, Japan, and the United States—following their call for the country's complete denuclearisation. The North Korean foreign ministry firmly stated that it will 'never' abandon its nuclear weapons program, claiming the Quad acts merely as a political tool for US strategic interests. This response follows a joint statement from the Quad's foreign ministers, which reiterated their commitment to North Korea's denuclearisation in line with relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions (UNSCRs). The Quad also condemned North Korea's unlawful missile development and expressed serious concerns regarding its cyber activities, which reportedly support its weapons programs. Additionally, the Quad called on UN member states to fully implement sanctions against North Korea, particularly concerning arms transfers and military-related materials. The ongoing tensions surrounding North Korea's nuclear ambitions remain a significant security issue in the Indo-Pacific region.
