On the 6th, according to the Korean Central News Agency, Kim Un Chol, Vice Minister for US Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said, "We are aware of the US's intention to be hostile to our country to the end.
The statement was released with the title "We are clarifying our position in response to the reconfirmation of the North Korean position regarding the North Korean government's stance on the issue."
Vice Minister Kim said, "The malicious nature of the United States has been exposed once again without any filtration," and added, "The recent fifth round of exclusive sanctions against North Korea since the new US administration took office is a testament to the US
"This marks an opportunity to put an end to the public speculation and public opinion that had predicted a change in North Korea policy," he said. "The current US administration is accustomed to making changes again in a very traditional way.
Kim also said, "The United States has once again expressed its hostile intentions toward North Korea, which are full of pressure, appeasement, intimidation and threats.
He said that the US sanctions against North Korea "will not have any impact on our thinking or views on the US, not now, and not in the future."
He added, "The current US administration's insistence on sanctions will only be recorded as a prime example symbolizing the irreparable failure of its North Korea policy."
He added, "No matter how much the United States mobilizes its arsenal of sanctions, the relationship between North Korea and the United States will remain fixed.
"We should keep in mind that the possibility of turning the current strategic situation to our advantage is less than zero," he said, adding, "It would be foolish to expect new results by following the same old script that has failed in the past.
Prior to this, on the 4th (local time), the US Treasury Department announced that it had newly arrested eight North Korean nationals and two North Korean institutions involved in laundering cybercrime proceeds from the North Korean regime.
Sanctioned individuals and entities will have all assets in the United States frozen and will be prohibited from conducting any transactions with them in the United States.

The United Nations announced that it would move forward with the designation of seven third-flagged vessels involved in exports to China as targets for UN sanctions.
The visit drew attention as it came just after he visited South Korea for the APEC summit and proposed a meeting with Chairman Kim, but the meeting did not materialize due to a lack of response from North Korea.
