Kim In-ryong, North Korea’s deputy UN ambassador, rejected the suspicions as he accused the US of incriminating the regime whenever something bad happens.
He told reporters: “Relating to the cyber attack, linking to the DPRK [North Korea], it is ridiculous.
“Whenever something bad happens, it is the stereotype way of the United States and the hostile forces that kick off a noisy anti-DPRK campaign deliberately linking with DPRK.”
Ambassador Kim added that Washington had “gestured” in recent remarks that it could become more open to talks with North Korea.
He continued: “The tolling back of the hostile policy towards the DPRK is the prerequisite for solving all the problems in the Korean peninsula.
“Therefore, the urgent issue to be settled on the Korean Peninsula is to put a definite end to the US hostile policy towards DPRK, the root cause of all problems.”
Washington this week warned Pyongyang could be producing a chemical used as a nerve agent.
Nikki Haley, the White House’s UN ambassador, raised concerns about an application by North Korea to patent a process to proceed sodium cyanide, which can be used to make the nerve agent Tabun.
