BEIJING, September 17. /TASS/. Together with its allies, the United States is gradually building up potential for a nuclear war, North Korea's Vice Defense Minister Kim Kang Il said.
"The main reason why the situation on the Korean Peninsula remains stuck in the vicious circle of confrontation and escalation lies in the reckless political and military provocations on the part of the United States and its henchmen, who have pursued a hostile policy toward the DPRK for 80 years, gradually building up potential for a nuclear war," he told the 13th Beijing Xiangshan Forum on security.
