North Korea says it has 'gift packages' for US

Amid international uproar over North Korea's latest and biggest nuclear weapons test, one of its top diplomats has said it is ready to send "more gift packages" to the United States.


Han Tae Song, North Korea’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva, was addressing the UN-sponsored Conference on Disarmament two days after his country detonated its sixth nuclear test explosion.

"I am proud of saying that just two days ago on the Third of September, DPRK successfully carried out a hydrogen bomb test for intercontinental ballistic rocket under its plan for building a strategic nuclear force," he told the Geneva forum.

"The recent self-defence measures by my country, DPRK, are a 'gift package' addressed to none other than the US," Mr Han said.

"The US will receive more 'gift packages' from my country as long as its relies on reckless provocations and futile attempts to put pressure on the DPRK [North Korea]," he added without elaborating.
