North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's sister Kim Yo Jong firmly rejected the peace proposals put forward by South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This is the first official response from Pyongyang regarding the new president and indicates that tensions between the two Koreas are still ongoing. President Yoon Suk-yeol has been trying to improve relations between the two countries since taking office in June.
He halted propaganda against North Korea, but Pyongyang does not view this as a serious step. In response to Kim Yo Jong's remarks, South Korea's Ministry of Unification stated that efforts to restore trust with Pyongyang would continue.
A ministry spokesperson, Koo Byung-sam, indicated that the statements reflect a high level of distrust between the two sides. President Yoon referred to the military alliance with the United States as a "blood-solidified alliance," emphasizing its further strengthening.
This statement was made against the backdrop of ongoing trade negotiations with the United States. No formal peace treaty has yet been signed between North and South Korea.
The Korean War of 1950-1953 ended only with a ceasefire. Today, the possibilities for trust and communication between the two countries remain complex.
