Seoul: North Korea’s Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui has called UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres a “puppet of U.S.”. He slammed the UN chief for joining a US-led resolution condemning North Korea’s recent intercontinental ballistic missile test.
Un Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday issued a statement strongly condemning North Korea’s ICBM launch and reiterated his appeal to North Korea to “immediately refrain from any further provocative action”. “I often take the Secretary-General of the United Nations as a member of the Us White House or its State Department,” North Korea’s Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said in a statement issued by state media. ’
Choe Son Hui said, “I express my deep regret that the Secretary-General of the United Nations has adopted a very sad attitude, who is unaware of the purpose and principles of the UN Charter and its proper mission.”
“It aims to maintain fairness, impartiality and equality in all matters. It clearly proves that he is a puppet of the United States,” he said, accusing Guterres of ignoring the US and its allies over North Korea’s ICBM test at the UN Security Council.
