Blue House responds to criticism of Kim Yo-jong's 'self-made farce', saying, "It does not help mutual trust."

On the 2nd, when North Korean Workers' Party General Affairs Director Kim Yo-jong criticized the South Korean government as a "self-made farce," the Blue House responded by saying, "Slanderous remarks against our government and the president are not helpful in building mutual trust."

A Blue House official responded as follows when asked about his position on General Affairs Director Kim's remarks that day.

This official said, “The government will conduct a prompt and thorough investigation into this land mine explosion incident to transparently reveal the truth of the incident and take necessary measures.”

He continued, “It is necessary to ease military tensions between North and South Korea and resume dialogue and communication to prevent such problems from recurring,” and added, “We urge North Korea to stop its wasteful criticism and join efforts for peaceful coexistence on the Korean Peninsula.”
