In his speech at the assembly, Kim reiterated that the North has no intention of starting a unilateral war, but also has no intention of avoiding it. Citing its growing military nuclear program, he said that a nuclear conflict on the Korean Peninsula would end the existence of South Korea and bring disaster and defeat to the US.
North Korea's dictatorial leader Kim Jong Un has given a big statement regarding South Korea. Kim said that his country will no longer make peace with South Korea. Kim called for rewriting the North's constitution to eliminate the idea of a shared state between the war-divided countries. This constitution was based on the feeling of national unity shared by both Koreas. The historic step to abandon the decades-old quest for peaceful unification comes amid rising tensions.
Some experts say Kim's goal may be to reduce South Korea's voice in regional security matters and to make it more clear that he would like to deal directly with the US over the nuclear standoff.
United Nations expressed concern
Declaring the South not as a potential partner for reconciliation but as a permanent rival may also be part of Kim's efforts to improve the credibility of his growing nuclear doctrine. UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is concerned about the cut in contacts. "For us, it is very clear that diplomatic engagement for denuclearization is the only possible path to lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula," he told reporters at UN headquarters in New York.
Partnership with Moscow and Beijing
The North Korean moves come as Kim is actively boosting his partnership with Moscow and Beijing as he seeks to break out of diplomatic isolation and increase his influence by joining a united front against Washington. North Korea also abolished key government agencies tasked with managing relations with South Korea during a rubber-stamp parliament meeting on Monday, North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency said.
Both Koreas caught in serious conflict
The Supreme People's Assembly said that the two Koreas are locked in a serious conflict and it would be a serious mistake for the North to consider the South as a partner in diplomacy. The Assembly said in a statement that the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Country, the National Economic Cooperation Bureau and the (Diamond Mountain) International Tourism Administration, which were instruments that existed for (North-South) dialogue, negotiation and cooperation, have been abolished. .
During his speech, Kim blamed South Korea and the US for escalating tensions in the region, saying their joint military exercises, the deployment of US strategic military assets and his trilateral security cooperation with Japan have turned the Korean Peninsula into a dangerous war-risk. Gave.
Reconciliation with South Korea impossible
Kim said it has become impossible for the North to pursue reconciliation and peaceful reunification with the South, and called on the assembly to rewrite the North's constitution to define South Korea as an enemy of the North. Kim said the new constitution should specify that if another war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula, North Korea will attempt to "occupy, subjugate and reclaim" South Korea as part of the North's territory. .
During a cabinet meeting in Seoul, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said Kim's statement reflected the anti-national and anti-historical nature of the government in Pyongyang. Yun said the South is maintaining strong defense preparations and will punish the North multiple times if it provokes it.
Threat to choose between war and peace
Yun said the North's fake peace strategy that threatened us with a choice between war and peace will no longer work. In his speech at the assembly, Kim reiterated that the North has no intention of starting a unilateral war, but also has no intention of avoiding war. Citing its growing military nuclear program, he said that a nuclear conflict on the Korean Peninsula would end the existence of South Korea and bring disaster and defeat to the US.
