North Korea rejected the UN resolution on the introduction of new sanctions against Pyongyang, calling it a "violation of the sovereignty" of the DPRK.

The country promised to take revenge on the United States, which, in its opinion, played a major role in the adoption of sanctions, writes CNN.

Speaking at the forum of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), North Korea’s foreign minister, Ree Yong Ho, accused the United States of the current situation on the Korean Peninsula and said that “Pyongyang’s possession of nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles is a legitimate self-defense in the face of the real nuclear threat posed by the United States.”

According to him, the sanctions will never force the country to negotiate a nuclear program or abandon it.

Ree added that Pyongyang "will present a serious lesson to the US" if they use military force against North Korea.

“There is no greater misconception than the United States’ assumption that its territory overseas is safe,” North Korean authorities said.

The country also accused the US of “trying to bring the situation on the Korean Peninsula to a nuclear war” and is pushing the UN to adopt new sanctions.

“North Korea will make the United States pay dearly for all the heinous crimes it commits against the state and people of this country,” the DPRK said.

Despite the threats of North Korea, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson did not rule out the possibility of further negotiations with this country, "when the right moment comes."

“We hope once again that the sanctions will eventually lead to North Korea coming to the conclusion that they need to choose a different path of development, and when the time and conditions are right, we can have a dialogue about the future of North Korea so that they feel safe and prosperous economically,” Tillerson said.

US President Donald Trump noted in his microblog Twitterthat is very pleased with the results of voting in the UN, and that South Korea fully supports the expansion of sanctions.
