North Korea slams G7's denuclearisation demand.

North Korea's Foreign Minister, Choe Son Hui, has criticised the G7 countries for demanding denuclearisation, saying that North Korea's status as a nuclear power is "final and irreversible." She added that Pyongyang's development of nuclear weapons is only intended to guard against US threats and that it will continue to take action measures until the military threat posed by the US and its allies is completely removed. The G7 foreign ministers had condemned North Korea's recent missile test and urged denuclearisation.
