Nordkoreanische Führerin Schwester lehnt Gespräche mit den USA als „Tagtraum“ ab

Kim Jong Un’s powerful sister has rejected the idea of talks with the United States, calling it a „daydream“. This statement comes ahead of the first US-South Korean meeting on nuclear deterrence. North Korea recently launched its most powerful ballistic missile, the Hwasong 18 intercontinental ballistic missile, adding to a series of launches this year. In response, Seoul and Washington have increased their defense cooperation, conducting joint military exercises with advanced stealth jets and US strategic assets. The Nuclear Consultative Group (NCG) will hold its inaugural meeting in Seoul on Tuesday, with the aim of strengthening nuclear deterrence against North Korea. However, Kim Yo Jong warned that a stronger extended deterrence system and military alliance will only further isolate North Korea from dialogue. She stated that the US cannot stop the progress of the DPRK or achieve irreversible disarmament through the temporary suspension of joint military exercises, the halt of strategic asset deployment, or the reversible relief of sanctions. Instead, she believes that the best way to ensure peace and stability is to deter the United States with force, rather than trying to solve the problem in a friendly manner. North Korea also accused the US of violating its airspace with a spy plane and condemned Washington’s plans to deploy a nuclear missile submarine near the Korean peninsula. In April, the US announced that one of its nuclear-armed ballistic submarines would visit a South Korean port for the first time in decades, although no specific date was given. South Korea and the United States are scheduled to begin their major annual joint military exercises next month

North Korean leader’s sister dismisses talks with US as ‘a daydream’

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s powerful sister dismissed the idea of talks with the United States as “a daydream” on Monday, the eve of the first US-South Korean meeting on nuclear deterrence. North Korea fired its most powerful ballistic missile yet last week, the solid-fuel Hwasong 18 intercontinental ballistic missile, the latest of a string of launches this year. Seoul and Washington have ramped up defence cooperation in response to the North’s weapons tests, staging joint military exercises with advanced stealth jets and US strategic assets. They will hold their inaugural meeting of the Nuclear Consultative Group (NCG) in Seoul on Tuesday, which, according to the presidential office in Seoul, is aimed at “bolstering nuclear deterrence against North Korea”.
