The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says her country will never accept South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s offer of economic benefits in exchange for denuclearization steps, accusing Seoul of recycling past proposals Pyongyang already rejected.
In a commentary published on Friday’s edition of North Korea’s official RodongSinmun newspaper, Kim Yo Jong stressed that her country has no intentions to give away its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles program for economic cooperation. She questioned the sincerity of South Korea’s calls for improved bilateral relations while it continues its combined military exercises with the United States and fails to stop civilian activists from flying anti-Pyongyang propaganda leaflets across their border.
