North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said there is nothing to prevent Pyongyang from carrying out a fourth nuclear test, a statement posted on Tuesday by state media outlet the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) said.
The statement followed a flurry of remarks about North Korea by U.S. President Barack Obama, who last Friday used a joint press conference in Seoul to indicate Pyongyang needed to be serious about denuclearization if it wanted talks with Washington.
