Addressing Biden’s remarks towards North Korea, the Asian country’s senior Foreign Ministry official said, “His (Joe Biden’s) statement clearly reflects his intent to keep enforcing the hostile policy toward the DPRK as it had been done by the U.S. for over half a century,”

“It is certain that the U.S. chief executive made a big blunder in the light of the present-day viewpoint. Now that the keynote of the U.S. new DPRK policy has become clear, we will be compelled to press for corresponding measures, and with time the U.S. will find itself in a very grave situation,” he added as per AP reports.
