Kim Yo-jong, Deputy Director of the Workers' Party of Korea Central Committee, stated that North Korea intends to write into its constitution the unwillingness to improve relations with South Korea. Kim Yo-jong issued a statement through the Korean Central News Agency, stating that North Korea has absolutely no intention of improving relations with South Korea because South Korea is a loyal servant of the United States and one of Washington's firm allies. This final position will be included in North Korea's constitution.
Kim Yo-jong also criticized the proposal by South Korea's new Minister of Unification, Jeong Dong-yun, for "returning to dialogue," calling these proposals mere noisy statements aimed at masking previous attitudes. Kim Yo-jong said that the claim that North Korea is responding to South Korea's peace gestures is purely wishful thinking. In addition, Kim Yo-jong refuted the rumors that North Korea had dismantled loudspeakers near the inter-Korean border. Kim Yo-jong stated that North Korea has never removed the loudspeakers installed along the border with South Korea and will not do so in the future.
Last year, North Korea's constitution included a provision that refers to South Korea as an enemy state. The North Korean leader also called for incorporating provisions regarding North Korea's territory into the basic law and completely abandoning any expressions related to peaceful unification between North and South Korea.
Kim Yo-jong also said: "South Korean media spread rumors that our stance might be conveyed to Washington during the upcoming Russia-US summit. This is a typical example of South Korea indulging in fantasies." Kim Yo-jong stated that North Korea will not sit down with the United States for talks and called reports about the possibility of such developments as "false assumptions."
U.S. media also reported that North Korea does not plan to resume diplomatic relations with South Korea and the United States in the near future, and continues to work closely with Russia and support Russia's actions within the framework of its special military operation in Ukraine. Previously, the North Korean leader assured Russian President Vladimir Putin during a phone call that North Korea would always abide by the spirit of the cooperation agreement with the Russian Federation and fully support the measures taken by the Russian leadership.
