The Office of the President stated this regarding North Korea’s disclosure of its uranium enrichment facility, saying, “We are closely assessing North Korea’s intentions for the disclosure, and observing and analyzing overall trends in North Korea.” Regarding concerns that “the possibility of a nuclear test is increasing ahead of the U.S. presidential election,” a senior official at the Office of the President said, “It is not easy to predict with certainty the timing of the nuclear test, as it can vary depending on the decision of the North Korean leadership,” and “South Korean and U.S. intelligence authorities are closely tracking it, keeping all possibilities in mind.”

The Ministry of Unification also said in a statement, “North Korea’s illegal development of nuclear weapons is a clear violation of UN Security Council resolutions and a serious threat to peace on the Korean Peninsula and in the world.” It added, “North Korea must also recognize that under no circumstances will we and the international community tolerate North Korea’s possession of nuclear weapons.”
The Japanese government also condemned North Korea’s disclosure of its uranium enrichment facility. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi, the Japanese government’s spokesperson, emphasized at a regular press conference that day, “North Korea’s nuclear and missile development threatens the peace and security of Japan and the international community, and is therefore absolutely unacceptable,” and “We will cooperate with South Korea, the United States, and others to demand the complete dismantlement of North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.”

Japanese public broadcaster NHK reported on the same day that North Korean State Affairs Commission Chairman Kim Jong-un had inspected a uranium enrichment facility, saying, “He has revealed his position that he will further push for nuclear development toward the United States, which is facing a presidential election in November this year.”
