North Korean First Vice
Foreign Minister Jang Kum-chol reacted strongly to Seoul's positive interpretation of Kim Yo-jong's statement following President Lee Jae-myung's expression of regret over drone incursions. Jang called the South's view a 'wishful interpretation' and the core of Kim's message a 'clear warning'. He urged Seoul to acknowledge its 'wrongdoing' and refrain from approaching Pyongyang.
Pyongyang's sharp response to lee's remarks
The swift reaction suggests north korea still attaches importance to inter-Korean relations, raising cautious hope for progress despite its hardline stance. Kim's statement using Lee's official title also marked a rare gesture.
Experts believe north korea's condemnation of recent UN resolutions on human rights violations, warning countries supporting the measures will be taken into account, further underscores its priorities.
