VIENTIANE: North Korea’s foreign minister said Tuesday that any decision to stage a further nuclear test would depend on the United States, as he blamed Washington for scuppering denuclearisation hopes for the Korean peninsula.

“Whether we conduct additional nuclear tests is entirely up to the United States,” Ri Yong-Ho told reporters on the sidelines of an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) meeting in Laos.
