UN nuclear chief calls for dialogue with North Korea on nuclear weapons

The UN's nuclear chief, Rafael Grossi, emphasized the need for dialogue with North Korea regarding its nuclear weapons. He noted that since North Korea became a nuclear state in 2006, international engagement has been absent, allowing its nuclear program to grow. Grossi condemned North Korea's violations of UN sanctions but argued that ignoring the country has not resolved the issue. He suggested that diplomatic efforts should focus on nuclear safety and rebuilding trust with North Korea. He also highlighted global nuclear concerns, mentioning that other nations, including China, the U.S., and Russia, are expanding their nuclear arsenals. Grossi called for careful diplomatic actions to address these challenges.
