China DailyXinhua | Updated: 2024-09-25 10:18 US President Joe Biden, Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken meet at the Quad leaders summit in Claymont, Delaware, US, Sept 21, 2024. SEOUL - The Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea condemned the United States for leveraging the Quad summit to pursue its policy of bloc confrontation under the name of "maintaining peace and stability," calling the grouping "a political and diplomatic tool for US strategy of uni-polar domination." In a Tuesday press statement carried Wednesday by the official Korean Central News Agency, the DPRK Foreign Ministry said the United States made a grave political provocation by inciting the atmosphere of collective pressure on the DPRK during the recent summit of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, known as Quad which comprises the United States, Japan, India and Australia. As the end product of the US Cold War mentality and its policy of bloc confrontation, Quad "has become a dangerous factor that deepens mistrust and antagonism between countries in the Asia-Pacific region and provokes international instability," the KCNA said, citing the statement.
