Kim delivered the strategic and tactical issues the party must focus on,... including policies on international relations.

Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency said Tuesday that a North Korean official at the Non-Aligned Movement summit in Azerbaijan last week, made such remarks when asked about North Korea's denuclearization.

There, Kim said denuclearization can be reached IF South Korea and the U.S. create an atmosphere of peace and stability while taking progressive steps forward with the North for the realization of peace.
