The influential sister of the leader of North Korea, refuted, this Thursday, August 14, reported from the South Korean army that North Korea has removed her southern propaganda speakers, and disgusted any idea of relaxation with Seoul.
“We have never removed the speakers installed in the border area and we are not willing to eliminate them,” said Kim Yo Jong, sister of Kim Jong-un, in a statement issued by the official North Kidna agency.
The border between the two Koreas is the scene of a war for the interposed speakers, Seoul extending K-Pop and bulletins to the north, while broadcasting disturbing noises.
The rest with South Korea, registered in the Constitution?
When he came to power in early June, South Korean President Lee Jae-Myung promised to reach Pyongyang, arguing that “whatever the cost, peace is preferable to war.”
On August 5, Seoul announced that he had begun to eliminate his speakers as “a practical measure to help calm tensions with the north.” A few days later, South Korea staff said the North Korean army had begun to do the same. But in his statement on Thursday, Kim Yo Jong rejected any gesture in this regard.
“Recently, the Republic of Korea has tried to induce public opinion by mistake by stating that its measures of goodwill and its appeasement find an echo, and make public opinion believe that relations between the RPDC and the Republic of Korea are in the process of eating,” he said, referring to the two Koreas for their official names.
“We have specified several times that we do not want to improve relations with the Republic of Korea … and this position and this end point of view will be registered in our Constitution in the future,” he said.
Their statement occurs when South Korea and the United States are preparing to carry out annual joint military exercises aimed at containing the north, from August 18 to 28. The two countries remain technically at war, because the 1950-1953 Korean war ended with an armistice and not with a peace treaty.
