Kim Yo Jong: Calls for Inter-Korean Dialogue Are South Korea's "Shameless Position" — Targeting UN Secretary-General
Published
North Korean Workers' Party Vice Department Director Kim Yo Jong has reportedly strongly criticized the UN Secretary-General's call for inter-Korean dialogue. Kim claimed that this remark directly reflects the position of the South Korean government.
Kim Yo Jong took issue with the UN Secretary-General's demand for dialogue between the two Koreas. She said that such a demand represents South Korea's "shameless position." North Korea's public criticism of inter-Korean relations in this way shows that tensions between the two sides have continued recently.
Inter-Korean dialogue has long been treated as an important issue for peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. However, recently the prospects for resuming dialogue have not been bright. The international community also continues to call for dialogue to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula, but the gap between the positions of North Korea and South Korea remains wide.
With this remark, interest in the possibility of dialogue between the two Koreas is rising again. Attention is focused on how the South Korean government and the UN will respond going forward, and what additional position North Korea will express.
