North Korea has publicly declared its rise as a global nuclear power state and criticized the United States. It emphasized that the U.S.-centered unipolar system has ended amid the ongoing hegemonic competition between the U.S. and China.

The Korean Central News Agency reported on the 10th that a commentary titled “The world division touted by the U.S. and the West only shows the ultimate destruction of a unipolar moment” argued that their republic, as a staunchly anti-U.S. state, has swiftly emerged as a major global nuclear power. This commentary suggests it renders the hegemonic aspirations of the U.S. unattainable and signals the impending end of the U.S.-led unipolar system.

The commentary further elaborated that the rise of powerful nations such as Russia and China effectively challenges U.S. dominance. It highlighted the role of BRICS, comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and the Republic of South Africa, in resisting U.S.-led efforts towards a unipolar moment. Additionally, it noted that with the incorporation of new member states, BRICS has the potential to establish a new economic order.

Meanwhile, it defined the world division between the U.S. and the West mentioned at the UN General Assembly in September as “an extreme expression of fear of humanity’s robust advance toward multipolarity.” It claimed, “The end of the U.S.’s unipolar moment is now a matter of time, just like a sand castle on the beach.”

Meanwhile, Kim Sun Gyung, a vice minister in charge of international organizations at the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, criticized the U.S. in a speech on the same day for exercising its veto power on a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The UN Security Council voted on a ceasefire resolution submitted by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the 8th. Still, it was not adopted due to opposition from the U.S., a permanent council member.

To achieve passage, a resolution requires the support of over nine out of the 15 members of the council, and it must not be vetoed by any of the five permanent members: the U.S., China, Russia, Britain, and France. In the recent vote, while 13 council members voted in favor of the resolution, the United States used its veto power, and Britain chose to abstain.
