“I don’t know what brazen ideas they will knock on the door with in the future, but I make it clear that we will never deal with that,” says Kim Yo Jong, sister of the country’s president.
Kim Yo Jong, the sister of the North Korean president, yesterday rejected the economic aid plan offered by the South Korean government in exchange for Pyongyang adopting denuclearization measures.
North Korea “will never accept the bold initiative” of Yoon Suk-yeol’s government, Kim said, according to the South Korean news agency Yunhap. “I don’t know what brazen ideas they will knock on the door with in the future, but I make it clear that we will never deal with that,” Kim said, after criticizing the plan as “the height of madness” and describing it as a copy of the failed plan. of the conservative government of former President Lee Myung Bak.
South Korea’s president announced on Monday that he would be willing to offer a major economic aid package to his northern neighbor in exchange for denuclearization. This plan would take place in the event that Pyongyang decides to take the path of denuclearization, a measure that he considers “essential” to achieve sustainable peace in the region, the Yonhap news agency reported.
To this end, Seoul offered a large-scale food program, assistance to improve infrastructure in the energy sector or the modernization of ports and airports to deal with international trade. Yoon also proposed granting aid for efficiency in the agricultural, health or financial sectors.
The office of the South Korean Presidency reacted to Kim’s remarks by calling them “rude” words.
