NORTH Korea yesterday rebuffed US President Barack Obama's criticism of its plans to launch a satellite aboard a rocket, calling his stance confrontational and vowing to go forward with what it insisted was a peaceful mission.
Worries about North Korea's plans, which the US and South Korea say are a cover to test long-range missiles that could carry nuclear arms, have overshadowed the nuclear security summit in Seoul.
Obama has appealed to the North Korean leadership to abandon the rocket plan or risk jeopardizing its future and thwarting the deal to ship US food aid in return for North Korean nuclear and missile moratoriums.
North Korea responded that Obama's claims that the launch is a provocation stem from "his wrong conception."
