Also, the head of the DPRK expressed hope for resolving the existing contradictions with the U.S. and stressed Pyongyang's aspiration toward a nuclear-free status of the entire Korean peninsula.
As reported earlier, North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, met with Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, as the latter visited Pyongyang for an official visit for the first time since 2009 and passed on Vladimir Putin's "warmest regards and best wishes."
The meeting was held ahead of a possible summit between Donald Trump and Kim in June where the pair are expected to discuss tensions over Pyongyang’s nuclear program.
