North Korea accused UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres of "double standards" Sunday, saying he urged Pyongyang to exercise restraint following its destruction of inter-Korean roads while remaining silent about South Korea's alleged drone infiltration into the North.
Kim Son-gyong, North Korea's vice foreign minister for international organizations, issued the statement after Guterres called for efforts to ease tensions and resume dialogue after the North blew up roads and rail lines on its side of the heavily fortified border on Tuesday, Yonhap News agency reported.
"I express deep displeasure over and categorically reject the remarks of interfering in the internal affairs" of North Korea, Kim said in the statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency.
Kim said the destruction of roads and rail lines within its territory falls under North Korea's "sovereign right from A to Z" and should not be subject to interference from the UN secretary general.
