NORTH Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country would not use nuclear weapons unless its sovereignty is infringed by others with nuclear arms, in a speech broadcast on Sunday, and set a five-year plan to boost the secretive state's moribund economy.
The North "will faithfully fulfil its obligation for non-proliferation and strive for global denuclearisation", Mr Kim said on Saturday at the rare congress of the ruling Workers' Party, although the speech only aired on Sunday on state television.
