North Korea denied reports it had cooperated with Syria on chemical weapons, dismissing them as a fabrication by the United States to pressure the country, state media reported late Thursday (March 1).

The state-run television KRT cited a spokesman at the foreign ministry&#39;s research institute of American studies arguing that the United States made a &quot;nonsensical argument&quot; that it helped Syria produce chemical weapons.

&quot;As we have clearly said several times, our republic does not develop, produce and stockpile chemical weapons and opposes chemical weapons themselves,&quot; KRT quoted its foreign ministry.

Two North Korean shipments to a Syrian government agency responsible for the country&#39;s chemical weapons program were intercepted in the past six months, according to a confidential U.N. report on North Korea sanctions violations.
