North Korea’s Ambassador to the United Nations has declared that the issue of denuclearization has been removed from the agenda of the country’s talks with the US.

“We don’t need to have lengthy talks with the US, and denuclearization is already gone out of the negotiation table,” Ambassador Kim Song declared, reports CBS News.

Kim Song also reacted to a December 4 joint statement by six European nations that “condemned” North Korea and called the European action “another serious provocation” and “stupid and serious”.
