N Korea won’t use nukes unless threatened by nuclear states: Kim

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un says Pyongyang will not use nuclear weapons unless it is threatened by a nuclear state.

“As a responsible nuclear weapons state, our republic will not use a nuclear weapon unless its sovereignty is encroached upon by any aggressive hostile forces with nukes,” Kim said while addressing a rare party gathering in Pyongyang on Saturday.

He also noted that the North would “faithfully fulfill” its non-proliferation obligations and urge for further international denuclearization.
