A spokesperson for the DPRK Foreign Ministry issued the following press statement titled “QUAD must stop unilateral coercive act to change the present position of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” on July 3:
Recently the US committed another grave political provocation denying the legitimate sovereign rights of our state and insisting on “denuclearization” with the QUAD foreign ministers’ meeting as an occasion.
The US hegemonic act of interfering in the internal affairs of independent sovereign states, stirring up inter-camp confrontation and creating instability in the international relations by relying on exclusive minority groups such as QUAD, is acting as a major risk factor hindering peace and security in the region and the world.
