The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Saturday that South Korea should stop "nonsensical" talk about denuclearization, saying Seoul is not qualified to discuss or "poke their noses into" nuclear talks between Washington and Pyongyang, Yonhap reported.

"It is really preposterous to hear the balderdash of South Korean authorities, who do not have either any qualification to discuss or the position to poke their noses into, the matters between the DPRK and the U.S., to say nothing of nuclear issues, are commenting on the resumption of DPRK-U.S. dialogue and interpreting the issue of denuclearization at their own choice," said Kwon Jong Gun, director general of the Department of U.S. Affairs of DPRK's Foreign Ministry. 

The official also said that it is not because there is not "a mediator that the DPRK-U.S. dialogue has gone away and the denuclearization been blown off, and it is because conditions are not met for denuclearization."

"I want to make it clear that we will continue to build up our force in order to overpower the persistent threats from the United States, and such efforts of ours are, in fact, continuing at this point in time," he said.

"If they want to deal with us, they will have to approach us after racking their brains and founding a different method. We are not what we were two years ago. The change continues and will continue as ever in a tremendous way," he added. "It is better to stop a nonsensical talking about denuclearization."

The latest statement comes a day after an official at South Korea's foreign ministry said that the government would continue to strive towards the swift resumption of U.S.-DPRK talks and inter-Korean relations, and called on efforts for complete denuclearization to continue.
