Contradicting the long-standing policies of both the South Korean government and the United States, Kim Moo-sung, chairman of South Korea’s ruling Saenuri Party, told a meeting of college students that North Korea could be recognized and treated as a “nuclear power.”
“Internationally, a country could be recognized as a nuclear power if it carries out two to three nuclear tests,” Kim told a group of students in Busan, South Korea.
North Korea, per its constitution, considers itself a nuclear state and regularly threatens to use nuclear weapons to strike back at any foreign aggressor, including South Korea and the United States.
