  • •North Korea continues to reject disarmament and maintains its nuclear status.

On October 31, 2026, the United States, South Korea, and Japan reaffirmed their commitment to the complete denuclearisation of North Korea during talks at the G20 meeting in Atlanta. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun, and Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi pledged full implementation of UN Security Council resolutions, which include a ban on revenue supporting North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Despite ongoing UN sanctions, North Korea has solidified its status as a nuclear-armed state, declaring its atomic arsenal permanent and irreversible. Speculation is growing about a potential meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the upcoming APEC summit in China. Analysts suggest that North Korea may have communicated its position on talks to Beijing during a recent visit. South Korea's President Lee Jae Myung has proposed seeking a freeze on North Korea's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, a move criticized for potentially accepting North Korea as a nuclear state. Pyongyang has rejected disarmament and denounced the joint statement from the three nations as a 'stereotyped sanctions racket.'
