North and South Korea exchange gunfire across Demilitarized Zone
North Korea's discussions with the United States over Pyongyang's nuclear arsenal are also at a standstill, despite three meetings between Kim and US President Donald Trump.
North Korea's discussions with the United States over Pyongyang's nuclear arsenal are also at a standstill, despite three meetings between Kim and US President Donald Trump.
Trump's remarks came days after Pyongyang carried out two "important tests" at its Sohae Satellite Launching Ground on December 7 and 13.
Abe "fails to tell one thing from another" and that the "underwit" is "excluded from international politics", the statement added.
Kim also expressed great satisfaction over the results of the test, Xinhua reported, citing the report.
In a bid to put pressure on South Korea and the United States to stop upcoming military drills, North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles early on Wednesday, the South Korean military said.
Earlier this week, Pyongyang is under heavy economic sanctions over its nuclear weapon and ballistic missile programmes and carried out its latest launches.
Trump became the first sitting American President to step foot in North Korea when he crossed the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in the Joint Security Area with Kim on Sunday.
Trump said, “It’s a great honour to be here. It is a great day for the world while shaking hands with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
President Trump then became the first American leader to step into North Korea.
Seoul’s Unification Ministry sent 200 metric tons of tangerines to Pyongyang in return for the two tons of pine mushrooms that North Korean chief Kim Jong-un shipped to the South after September’s inter-Korean summit.
