The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Monday urged the United States to alter its policy toward the country in order to realize the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

"The denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula depends on whether or not the U.S. changes its policy towards Korea," said Pak Kil Yon, the DPRK's vice minister of foreign affairs, in an address at a debate of the General Assembly.

"In order to realize the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, the U.S. administration must discard old concept of confrontation and show the 'change' in practice, as it recently stated on several occasions," he said.
