North Korea’s foreign minister says U.N. secretary general not impartial

SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea’s foreign minister on Monday accused U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres of siding with the United States and failing to maintain impartiality and objectivity.

“Recently I have often taken the UN secretary-general for a member of the U.S.
