South Korea’s president lambasted North Korea on Friday over what he called its repressive rule and vowed to achieve a free, unified Korean peninsula, weeks after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un rejected the idea of peaceful unification and threatened to occupy the South in the event of war.
In response, Kim’s sister Yo-jong last Thursday said Pyongyang and Tokyo “can open up a new future together”, according to North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency.
Kim’s sister “courteously conveyed Kim Jong-un’s thanks to Putin to the Russian side, saying that the gift serves as a clear demonstration of the special personal relations between the top leaders,” KCNA said.
As part of the shift, the North has also abolished government agencies responsible for inter-Korean exchanges and dialogue, with the constitution being altered to say Pyongyang’s forces should “completely occupy, subjugate, and reclaim” the South in the event of war.
North Korea fired several cruise missiles off its east coast on Wednesday, Seoul’s military said, Pyongyang’s fifth such launch so far this year.
About 100 Russians flew to North Korea on Friday for a private tour, becoming the first foreign group to visit the reclusive state following the Covid-19 pandemic in a landmark trip summed up by the Russian embassy as “Pyongyang opens its door”.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said he has the legal right to annihilate South Korea, in his latest move to threaten his neighbour after starting the year by eliminating the concept of peaceful unification from his state’s national policy.
