North Korea Slams US for Sending ‘Weird Questionnaires’ to UN Organizations
PYONGYANG, March 21, 2025 – North Korea’s Foreign Ministry has issued a stern rebuke against the United States for dispatching what it described as “weird questionnaires” to various United Nations bodies and affiliated international organizations. In a statement released via the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Pyongyang accused Washington of using the questionnaires as a tool to impose its “America First” policy on global institutions.
According to the North Korean statement, the questionnaires—designed to probe potential links with communist or anti-American groups—are part of an effort by the US to “dictate the ideological stance” of UN member states. The DPRK denounced the move as an infringement on the sovereign rights of nations and a deliberate attempt to manipulate the multilateral platform of the United Nations.
“Such intrusive inquiries are clearly an extension of the U.S. agenda to dominate international discourse and weaken the unity of the community of nations,” the statement declared.
While US officials have not yet responded directly to the allegation, several diplomatic sources suggest that the move is part of a broader strategy aimed at scrutinizing UN agencies’ affiliations and operational procedures. Analysts warn that such measures could further inflame already tense relations between Washington and Pyongyang, especially amid ongoing disputes over nuclear issues and regional security.
The incident adds another chapter to the strained U.S.–North Korea relations, with Pyongyang warning that persistent unilateral actions will force it to take “necessary countermeasures” to safeguard its national dignity and security.
No further comment has been provided by US representatives, leaving questions about the scope and intent of the questionnaires unanswered.
