North Korea predicts new nuclear arms race
None
North Korea's UN ambassador says US modernization of its nuclear weapons and missile defense systems will eventually spark a new nuclear arms race.
Sin Son Ho told a General Assembly meeting Wednesday on revitalizing the Conference on Disarmament, which North Korea chairs this month, that if "the largest nuclear weapon state" - a reference to the United States - wants to stop the spread of nuclear weapons it should negotiate a treaty to abolish nuclear weapons.
