North Korea, formally the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, has told the United Nations that its status as a nuclear-armed state is irreversible and that it rejects outside pressure to abandon its weapons programme. The declaration signals Pyongyang's continued refusal of denuclearisation talks and is likely to draw condemnation from the US, South Korea, Japan and other governments backing sanctions and diplomatic pressure.
