In the wake of reports regarding Israel’s reported strike in Syria last week, North Korea has denied providing Syria with secret nuclear cooperation.
North Korea strongly denied Tuesday that it provided Syria with secret nuclear cooperation, calling the allegation a fabrication by hard-liners in Washington to block progress in the country’s relations with the United States.
North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said the country has upheld its pledge made last October, when it conducted its first-ever nuclear test, that North Korea would be a responsible nuclear power and not transfer any nuclear material out of the country.
“We never speak empty words,” a ministry spokesperson said. “The above-said story is nothing but a clumsy plot hatched by the dishonest forces who do not like to see any progress at the six-party talks and in the DPRK-U.S. relations.”
This coming from a country whose leader wears platform shoes to appear deceptively taller.
