North Korea tells world to ‘expect no change’

“We declare solemnly and confidently that the foolish politicians around the world, including the puppet group in South Korea, should not expect any change from us.”

From the NDC - which is thought to be the country’s top decision-making body - said North Korea would “never deal” with South Korean leader Lee Myung-bak.

The NDC also criticised Seoul’s “unforgivable” decision to allow only two non-official delegations to cross the border to pay their respects to Mr Kim.
