North Korea has asserted its right to "space development", amid speculation that it plans to launch a missile test.
In state media, it accused countries of trying to block its "peaceful research" and said: "One will come to know later what will be launched."
Experts say "space development" has been used before for a rocket launch.
North Korea denied it was seeking attention, as Hillary Clinton begins a visit to the region as US President Barack Obama's secretary of state.
Speculation that North Korea is preparing to test a long-range missile has persisted for two weeks, following surveillance reports of long objects being moved towards the coast and of Chinese ships vacating the area.
