North Korea today denounced the Group of Seven Major Industrial Countries (G7) as a "remnant of the Cold War" and should be disbanded immediately, the Yitong News Agency reported citing the Korean Central News Agency. North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency reported on November 14 that North Korea denounced the G7 as a legacy of the Cold War, an organization that causes conflicts for its own interests and violates the sovereignty of other countries. Regarding the joint statement issued by the G7 foreign ministers after their meeting in Tokyo last week, Jo Chol Su, director of the North American Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Korea, condemned the G7 foreign ministers for "slandering" North Korea's exercise of "self-defense and legitimate sovereignty."

Zhao Zhexiu said: "The G7, which created and incited the recent international crisis, said this or that in order to provoke independent sovereign countries. The G7 is the main source of danger that undermines global peace and security, and is also the main stumbling block to the establishment of a just international order." Zhao Zhexiu said that the G7 cannot represent the international community, but protects the interests of a few countries, and pointed out that the United States is the supplier of lethal weapons to Ukraine and "deliberately undermines" peace and stability in Europe. Zhao Zhexiu said: "(G7) has lost its reason for existence. The G7, a legacy of the Cold War, should be disbanded immediately. This is the first step to resolve the current international crisis, especially the Gaza War, and restore global peace."
