SEOUL: North Korea's foreign ministry said in a statement published by state media KCNA that the United States' approval for South Korea's building its first nuclear submarine is "a dangerous development" that added new instability to the political and military environment of the Asia-Pacific region.
The approval is also another demonstration of US nuclear proliferation through AUKUS pact, the North Korean ministry said, outlining a history of what it described as Washington's "radical nuclear arms buildup" that resulted in the "collapse of international nuclear order."

首尔：朝鲜外交部通过朝中社发表声明称，美国批准韩国建造其首艘核潜艇是“危险的事态发展”，给亚太地区的政治和军事环境带来了新的不稳定因素。
朝鲜外交部表示，此次批准也是美国通过《奥库斯条约》扩散核武器的又一例证，并概述了其所称的华盛顿“激进的核武器建设”的历史，该建设导致了“国际核秩序的崩溃”。
