북, 시진핑 방북 직전 “비핵화 불가”…중국에 ‘핵보유국 인정’ 압박

North Korea has declared that it will not denuclearize, just before Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang. This statement signals a hardening of Pyongyang's stance on its nuclear program. The move appears to be an attempt to pressure China into acknowledging North Korea as a nuclear-armed state. This development comes amidst ongoing international efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.

North Korea's refusal to denuclearize and its demand for recognition as a nuclear state complicates international diplomatic efforts and could escalate regional tensions.
