"North Korea strives to create the strongest nuclear force": Kim Jong-un's sister ridiculed calls for North Korea's denuclearization
Kyiv • UNN
Kim Jong-un's sister stated that North Korea will never abandon its nuclear program. Any negotiations on denuclearization are a denial of the country's sovereignty.
Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, has mocked Washington and its Asian allies. She stated that her country will never give up its nuclear program and that it "cannot be changed by any physical force or trickery." This is reported by UNN with reference to ABCnews.

The statement by Kim Yo Jong, one of North Korea's top foreign policy officials, came in response to a meeting between top diplomats from the United States, South Korea and Japan last week. At it, representatives of these countries agreed to insist on the denuclearization of North Korea.
Kim Yo Jong noted that North Korea's nuclear weapons expansion goals are enshrined in its constitution and that any external discussions on denuclearization constitute "the most hostile act" and are tantamount to denying her country's sovereignty.
If the US and its vassal forces continue to insist on anachronistic "denuclearization - this will only give unlimited justice and justification to the DPRK's desire to build the strongest nuclear force for self-defense
She added that North Korea's nuclear weapons status "can never be changed by any physical force or clever trickery."
Additionally
Tensions over North Korea's nuclear weapons issue have risen as Kim Jong-un continues to flaunt his military nuclear capabilities and support Russia in its "SVO".
The North Korean leader continues to ignore calls from Seoul and Washington to resume denuclearization talks.
Trump and Kim met three times during the American president's first term, but their diplomacy quickly fizzled out because Washington was unwilling to "exchange" the lifting of sanctions against the DPRK for it to curtail its nuclear and missile programs.
Donald Trump has said he will return to Kim again to resume diplomacy, but North Korea has not responded to the offer.
The publication notes that Kim's foreign policy priority now is Russia, to which he has provided weapons and troops to continue the war in Ukraine. Seoul, in turn, fears that Kim may receive economic assistance and advanced technologies to develop his arsenal in exchange for military support for Russia.
