North Korea has officially rejected international demands to give up its nuclear weapons, stating that its status as a nuclear-armed state is permanent.

北韓正式拒絕國際社會要求其放棄核武的請求，並表示其作為核武國家的地位是永久的。

The current diplomatic deadlock was caused by a series of meetings between the United States, Japan, and South Korea. During these discussions, the allies emphasized their shared goal of completely removing nuclear weapons from the Korean Peninsula. In response, a spokesperson for the North Korean foreign ministry dismissed these goals as unrealistic. He asserted that disarmament is impossible because of the current political situation in the region.

目前的外交僵局是由美國、日本與南韓之間的一系列會議引起的。在這些討論中，盟友們強調其共同目標是將核武完全從韓半島移除。作為回應，北韓外務省的發言人將這些目標斥為不切實際。他主張由於目前的區域政治局勢，去核化是不可能的。

Pyongyang argues that its nuclear weapons are a necessary response to security threats. The government pointed to the delivery of advanced weapons from the US to South Korea and Japan as the main reason for keeping its arsenal. They claim these weapons are essential for maintaining stability and preventing attacks. This position follows a trend that began after diplomatic talks between North Korea and the US stopped in 2019.

平壤方面認為，其核武是對安全威脅的必要回應。政府指出，美國向南韓與日本提供先進武器是保留核武庫的主因。他們聲稱這些武器對於維持穩定與防止攻擊至關重要。這一立場是隨著 2019 年北韓與美國外交對話停止後而形成的一種趨勢。

Furthermore, North Korea has worked to strengthen its relationship with China. Recent high-level meetings between President Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un emphasized a commitment to improving military, diplomatic, and economic ties. Notably, these reports did not mention denuclearization, which suggests that China and North Korea have different priorities than the US-led group.

此外，北韓一直致力於強化與中國的關係。習近平主席與金正恩最近的高層會議強調，雙方致力於改善軍事、外交與經濟聯繫。值得注意的是，這些報告並未提及去核化，這顯示出中國與北韓的優先考量與美國領導的陣營有所不同。

North Korea insists that its nuclear capabilities are not open for negotiation, while the US and its allies continue to push for total disarmament.

北韓堅持其核能力不開放協商，而美國及其盟友則繼續推動完全去核。
