North Korea denounced the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula as a 'pipe dream' that can never be realized on Saturday, following Seoul's announcement that the issue would be discussed at the summit between President Lee Jae Myung and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The statement came ahead of their first summit on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Gyeongju. Pyongyang criticized South Korea for repeatedly raising the topic and denying its status as a nuclear weapons state.
