A high-ranking North Korean official, the sister of leader Kim Jong Un, sharply criticized the United States and its Asian partners on Wednesday, rejecting any possibility of denuclearization. She described the persistent demands for North Korea to dismantle its nuclear arsenal as a futile "daydream."
"The U.S. and its followers should wake up to the reality that denuclearization is impossible," she stated in a press release carried by state media. "Our country will never relinquish its self-defense capabilities, which are vital for our security and sovereignty."
This firm stance reinforces North Korea's long-held position that its nuclear weapons program is essential for deterring potential aggression. The statement comes amidst stalled negotiations between North Korea and the U.S. regarding sanctions relief and denuclearization steps. Experts believe that North Korea is likely to continue developing its nuclear weapons program despite international pressure.
