The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Wednesday accused the United States of adopting a double standard policy on nuclear issues and proliferation.

DPRK's official KCNA news agency quoted an article in Singapore's Straits Times as confirming that the U.S. has helped Israel to develop nuclear weapons in the past several dozens of years.

"That the United States zealously helped Israel on nuclear both technically and materially and protected and connived at it proves that the United States is the accomplice and helper of Israel in its nuclear weaponization," KCNA said.

The connivance of the U.S. over Israel's access to nukes is "clear evidence" of the injustice of the American double standard over the nuclear issues, it added.

However, the U.S. labeled other countries, including Iran and the DPRK, whose nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes as "nuclear criminals."

Such a double standard is a serious breach of the principle of impartiality in the nuclear field, KCNA said, adding that the U.S. plan to build "a world without nuclear weapons" therefore is "nothing but a smokescreen to cover up its ambition for world domination based on nukes and deceive the world people."

The DPRK's official news agency concluded that the U.S. is wholly to blame for the nuclear threat and the danger of nuclear proliferation in the world.
