Kim Jong-un of North Korea Bans Agencies Dedicated to Reunification Efforts with South Korea
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

North Korea has dismantled several governmental bodies fostering reconciliation and reunification with South Korea. Kim Jong Un warned that his nation, characterized by secrecy, does not intend to eschew conflict.
In an address to North Korea’s Supreme People’s Assembly, the nation’s legislative body, Kim Jong Un declared that the prospect of reunification with South Korea is no longer viable. Consequently, he advocated for a constitutional amendment designating South Korea as a separate and “hostile country,” as reported by the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Tuesday.
Kim emphasized the nation’s reluctance towards war while simultaneously expressing an unequivocal stance of not evading it.
The Supreme People’s Assembly, in an official statement, announced the cessation of three key organizations responsible for facilitating inter-Korean reconciliation: the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Country, the National Economic Cooperation Bureau, and the (Mount Kumgang) International Tourism Administration.
The assembly, as reported by KCNA, underscored the acute confrontation prevailing on the Korean peninsula, characterizing the two states as the “most hostile,” currently engaged in a state of war.
This decision signifies a further deterioration in the already strained relations between North and South Korea, exacerbated by recent missile tests conducted by Pyongyang.
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, in response, criticized North Korea’s classification of his country as hostile, deeming it reflective of Pyongyang’s “anti-national and ahistorical” disposition.
On Monday, North Korea announced the successful testing of a new solid-fuel missile equipped with a hypersonic warhead, following the recent launch of the Hwasong-18 solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile.
In response, Japan, South Korea, and the United States have intensified collaborative military exercises, perceived by North Korea as potential precursors to an imminent invasion in the wake of the weapons tests.
Over the weekend, Jung H Pak, the US Senior Official for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), engaged in a joint diplomatic call with her South Korean and Japanese counterparts to condemn North Korea’s latest missile tests, as conveyed by the US State Department on Monday. This collective condemnation reflects heightened international concerns regarding the evolving geopolitical dynamics in the Korean peninsula.
