North Korea gets closer to the Nuclear Weapons

on Monday, April 29, 2013

North Korea has been claiming that they are now closer to be one of the nations that have nuclear weapons, but still there are external pressures on North Korea to immediately stop their nuclear weapons program.

North Korea is one of those countries that have been working on their nuclear program quite a while ago. According to their standing on the Nuclear weapon issue, the government of North Korea is not in a mood of quitting their nuclear program.

The media have been covering this issue for quite some time and the western countries, particularly the United States of America, have shown quite deep concerns over the nuclear program of North Korea. They have been talking about imposing sanctions as the US wants North Korea to dismantle their nuclear weapons.

South Korea is equally concerned with the experiments made by North Korea in recent times. South Korea is offering to have table talks on this issue as the United States is also looking forward to having talks with North Korea.

As far as the North Korean government is concerned, they don’t want to postpone their nuclear testing. There have been tension between North Korea and South Korea, but the experiment of nuclear weapons from the North Korean side has made enough impact on South Korea that require at least table talks with North Korea.

On the other hand, North Korea is constantly demanding that they should accept a nuclear weapon state before proceeding for any talks. Yet, there have been no response on this matter from South Korea or the United states.

It is made clear in the statement, by the North Korean government, that the talks could only be possible when there is an acknowledgment from the United States that North Korea is now a nuclear state.

There have been posters seen in North Korea representing that they would be doing more missile testing in the coming months. News agencies have rejected the condition by the United States to immediately dismantle their nuclear weapons.

North Korea believes that no one can force them to dismantle their nuclear weapons as they have made lots of efforts to reach the point where they would be called a nuclear state. North Korea is seeking to have recognition from all parts of the world that they are a nuclear state not only the US.

The Spokesman of the white house thinks that the talks will be meaningless if North Korea is not stopping their nuclear program before getting to talk. In 2005, North Korea signed a deal in which it was assured that they would not be continuing their nuclear program, but later that deal was cancelled by the North Korean government stating that it is their basic right to have nuclear weapons. The number of tests from North Korea resulted in sanctions from the United States.
