North Korea will not give up its nuclear know-how
North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho arrived in Tehran Thursday to report to Iranian leaders on the progress of Pyongyang’s denuclearization talks with the United States. “We preserve our nuclear science as we know that the Americans will not abandon their hostility towards us”, Ri said, according to Iran’s Mehr news agency. “Dealing with Americans is difficult, and as our main goal is total disarmament of the whole Korean Peninsula, it is necessary that the Americans also abide by their commitments, but they refuse to do so.”
