North Korea has urged South Korea to end 'nonsensical' denuclearization talks, NK News reported.

The comments by Kwon Jong Gun, who heads the North Korean foreign ministry’s North America Department, came in response to remarks by a South Korean MFA official on Friday, as they called for continued efforts towards denuclearization and peace on the peninsula.

“It is really preposterous to hear the balderdash of south Korean authorities-who do not have either any qualification to discuss, or the position to poke their noses into, the matters between the DPRK and the U.S.,” Kwon said in the statement, carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), deploying a number of insulting idioms in an extended missive warning Seoul not to get involved in DPRK-U.S. and nuclear affairs.

“Having been long forsaken like a good-for-nothing cucumber stalk thrown into swill, they should have now been aware too well of their sad lot,” he continued. “It is really pitiful that they are still irrationally mouthing denuclearization, like a monk chanting the prayers.”
