According to her, recently US President Donald Trump said that during his first presidential term he stabilized the situation on the Korean peninsula and reached the first agreement at the highest level of denuclearization, and that he, as before, was opened to the DPRK leader for the full denuclearization of Korea.
She added that the DPRK does not attach any importance to the unilateral assessment of past Korean-American negotiations on the part of the United States ”and that 2025 is no longer 2018 and not 2019.
“The recognition of the irreversible status of our state as a nuclear, its capabilities, as well as the obvious fact that the geopolitical situation has changed radically, should be a starting point for any further assumptions and considerations. No one can deny reality and we need to make mistakes. We will consistently reject any attempts to deny the nuclear status of our state, which was formed together with the presence of a powerful force of nuclear deterioration and It is enshrined in higher law in accordance with the general will of the entire Korean people, ”the statement said.
Kim E Jong emphasized that the DPRK is open to any options to protect its current state status. She emphasized that the confrontation between the two nuclear states is completely unprofitable for both sides, and therefore “should be sought by another way to contact, based on a new approach”
“I do not deny that the personal relations between the head of our state [Ким Чен Ыном] And the current president of the United States is not bad. But if the personal relations between the leaders of the DPRK and the USA will be considered as a means of achieving denuclearization, then this cannot be evaluated otherwise than a mockery of a partner. If the United States is not aware of changes in reality and will continue to cling to past failures, then the meeting between the DPRK and the USA will remain only the hope of the United States, ”she summed up.
Kim E Jong, the influential sister of the DPRK leader Kim Jong -un, performs on his behalf, adds Reuters.
At the request of the DPRK statement, an official of the White House said that Trump still adheres to the goal that he pursued during three summites with Kim Jong Yon in his first time. He added that the head of the White House “remains open to the dialogue with the leader of Kim to achieve completely denuclearized North Korea.”
