In a statement on Tuesday, Kim Yo-jong lashed out at the US and its Asian allies over their “most hostile and aggressive” attitude toward North Korea.
Kim Yo-jong, deputy department director of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, and sister of the DPRK’s head of state Kim Jong-un, has warned of far-reaching consequences from what she described as “ever-escalating military threats of hostile forces.”
She referred to recent joint drills of the US, Japan and South Korea, which she said was held “under the signboard of ‘counteraction’ and ‘warning’ to North Korea’s latest strategic weapon test.”
“This is another absolute proof of the validity and urgency of the line of building up the nuclear forces we have opted for and put into practice. Today’s upset of the balance of power between rivals on the Korean Peninsula and in the region precisely means a war. And this is an undeniable objective reality,” Kim’s sister underscored.
