Kim Yo Jong on denuclearization: "Idle talk"

"Idle talk"

On Thursday, the state news agency KCNA published a statement by Kim Yo Jong, the sister of the North Korean leader. In her speech, she referred to the expected calls from the international community for the denuclearization of North Korea. She called them "routine noise" and "idle chatter."

"If someone really believes that this is possible, they will hear nothing else about themselves except that they are a fool who does not know the laws of the world," wrote a representative of the North Korean regime.

Nuclear weapons as a guarantee of survival

Kim Yo Jong stressed that North Korea's status as a nuclear weapons state is "absolute" and consolidated "both legally and physically." According to her, Pyongyang's military potential serves to "deter" and "ensure peace."

She also added that if it were not for "international provocateurs", the world could live in greater peace instead of wasting time on futile discussions.

Also today, North Korea's Deputy Minister of Defense, Kim Kang Il, argued during a security forum in Beijing that the expansion of American military potential and the strengthening of the alliance of the US, South Korea and Japan fully justify further strengthening of Pyongyang's nuclear forces.

The status of a nuclear power included in the constitution of North Korea.
