Leader Kim Jong Un said the new law would make the country's nuclear status 'irreversible' and would bar any denuclearisation.
A deputy at the assembly said the law would consolidate North Korea's position as a nuclear weapons state and ensure the"transparent, consistent and standard character" of its nuclear policy, KCNA reported.
In his speech to the parliament, Kim said:"The utmost significance of legislating nuclear weapons policy is to draw an irretrievable line so that there can be no bargaining over our nuclear weapons."North Korea has already declared itself a nuclear weapons state in its constitution, but the new law goes beyond that to outline when nuclear weapons can be used, including to respond to an attack, or stop an invasion.
It also allows for pre-emptive nuclear strikes if an imminent attack by weapons of mass destruction or against the country's"strategic targets" is detected.'s administration has offered to talk to Kim any time, at any place, and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has said his country would provide generous economic aid if Pyongyang began to give up its arsenal.
North Korea has rebuffed those overtures, however, saying that the United States and its allies maintain"hostile policies" such as sanctions and military drills that undermine their messages of peace. "As long as nuclear weapons remain on earth and imperialism remains and manoeuvres of the United States and its followers against our republic are not terminated, our work to strengthen nuclear force will not cease," Kim said.
