SEOUL, July 27 — The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attacked the bloc of Southeast Asian nations on Monday for seeking a denuclearised Korean peninsula, blasting the position as “stupid and foolish.”
At its annual regional forum last week, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) expressed “grave concern” over Pyongyang’s ongoing nuclear weapons development and stressed the importance of dialogue “to realise lasting peace and stability in a denuclearised Korean Peninsula.”
North Korea has long insisted on its right to nuclear weapon and ballistic missile programmes, although they are forbidden under the terms of UN Security Council sanctions. It enshrined its nuclear status in its constitution in 2023.
Kim’s sister Kim Yo Jong said in a statement carried by state news outlet KCNA that she expressed “strong dissatisfaction with the forum’s undisguised hostile attitude of going along with the US trumpeting about ‘denuclearisation’” and ignoring North Korea’s constitution.
“It is a failure in strategic thinking and logic and a manifestation of a stupid and foolish wild dream to still adhere to the ‘denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula’ which had already lost its meaning conceptually and practically,” she said.
Asean should guard against “being misused as a hired mouthpiece for the US,” she added.
In June, Kim Yo Jong – a key player in the North’s communications and foreign policy – said in a statement that North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme is “the line of no retreat”.
Pyongyang has repeatedly declared itself an “irreversible” nuclear state since Kim Jong Un’s 2019 summit with US President Donald Trump collapsed over the scope of denuclearisation and sanctions relief. — AFP

The Eagle Squadron of Americans fighter pilots who volunteered to defend Britain during the Battle of Britain
The Flying Tigers who helped defend China against the Japanese Imperial Air Force , long before Pearl Harbour.
In DPRK, if a soldier disobeys the Kim Regime orders, they get declared enemy of the State, and 3 Generations of their family may get wiped off the face of the earth - Parents, Spouse or Siblings ,and Children.
