Kim Jong-un calls South Korea "hostile"

18.10.2024 15:02 | Category World

State media reported on October 18 that Kim Jong Un told North Korean soldiers that the South was a "foreign" country, saying Pyongyang had abandoned any idea of reunification.

Although the two Koreas are officially at war, they have long defined their ties as a "special relationship," a relationship aimed at eventual reunification.

However, in January, Kim called Seoul his country's "main enemy" and on October 18 described ties with the South as a "defective relationship" that ended with the breakdown of roads between them.

After months of laying new mines and beefing up border security, Pyongyang this week blew up roads and railways linking it to the South and said its constitution now designates the South as a "hostile" state. , Kim told the 2nd Corps of the Korean People's Army, state media reported.

This week's blasting of roads and railways means "the end of the vicious relationship with Seoul," Kim said, as well as "the complete elimination of the baseless idea of reunification."

North Korea's military will retaliate if necessary against "a hostile country, not its own countrymen," he added, according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). Last week, North Korea held a key session of its puppet parliament, which many experts expected that the constitution will be revised on Oct. 17, Kim also reviewed "important documents" outlining North Korea's "military plans for various scenarios," KCNA reported.
