North Korea rejects dialogue with Seoul, says no interest in talks

  • Kim Yo Jong, North Korea's powerful leader's sister, rejected South Korea's peace overtures on Monday, declaring no interest in talks or proposals.
  • Her statement follows early 2024 constitutional revisions by Kim Jong Un removing peaceful unification goals and labeling South Korea as a permanent enemy.
  • South Korea's newly elected liberal government led by Lee Jae Myung has halted hostile border broadcasts and banned propaganda balloons, aiming to improve ties.
  • Kim Yo Jong said Lee's government shows no difference from predecessors due to blind trust in the US alliance and confrontational policies, calling overtures a 'great miscalculation.'
  • The sharp rejection and North Korea’s nuclear focus suggest inter-Korean relations remain deeply strained, with Pyongyang prioritizing military strength and ties with Russia.
