North Korea criticises G7 as ‘remnant of the Cold War’

A joint statement by the G7 condemned North Korea’s missile tests and arms transfers to Russia, which the latter said was a “slander” of the country’s exercise of “self-defensive and legitimate sovereignty”.

North Korea criticised the Group of Seven countries as a “remnant of the Cold War” that causes conflicts for their own interests and violates other countries’ sovereignty, its state media KCNA said on Tuesday.
