Press statement of Kim Yo Jong, deputy department director of WPK Central Committee

April 9, 2025

Kim Yo Jong, deputy department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following press statement "The anachronistic 'denuclearization' idea of the US, Japan and the ROK can never affect the position of our state" on April 8:

The diplomatic authorities of the US, Japan and the ROK talked again about someone's "complete denuclearization", terming the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's exercise of its sovereign rights a "threat" on the occasion of the recent NATO foreign ministers' meeting.

It fully exposed once again the uneasiness and anxiousness of the US, Japan and the ROK in a desperate plight of having to talk about "denuclearization" in chorus, filled with fear, although they just know that "denuclearization" of us is nothing but a pipe dream that can never come true.
