Seoul: North Korea on Saturday blasted a recent joint statement adopted by South Korea and the European Union (EU) that condemned Pyongyang’s military cooperation with Russia, saying it will continue to treat Seoul as “a hostile state.”
In a press statement issued on the state-run Korean Central News Agency, the North Korean foreign ministry said South Korea is “an invariable enemy state obsessed with hostility and confrontation.”
