North Korea’s official media KCNA reported on December 31 last year that the North Korean Communist Party “Working Party of Korea” held the fifth day of the ninth plenary session of its Eighth Central Committee on December 31 of the same month. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un who attended the meeting stated that the two Koreas The relationship between the two countries, which are hostile and at war, can never be unified. The relationship between North Korea (North Korea) and South Korea (South Korea) is no longer a relationship between the same ethnic group.
Yonhap News Agency and other Korean media quoted the Korean Central News Agency as reporting that Kim Jong-un said that the two Koreas have completely different views on the reunification of the motherland. After reviewing the long-standing relations between North and South Korea, the Workers’ Party found that the two sides will never be able to achieve reunification. He also said that South Korea claimed that North Korea was its main enemy, and Seoul colluded with external forces to blindly seek opportunities to collapse the Pyongyang regime. “We must not repeat the same mistakes” and regard South Korea as the object of reconciliation and reunification.
Kim Jong-un also made it clear that looking back at the history of relations between the two Koreas, the two sides have always been distrustful and confrontational, and North Korea will “fundamentally change” the direction of its policy towards South Korea in the future. Regarding North Korea’s policy towards the United States, he emphasized that “war is not an abstract concept, but a concrete reality” and that it should adhere to the consistent principle of “strong versus strong, frontal confrontation” and adopt high-pressure and offensive policies.
Kim Jong-un threatened that if the United States and South Korea attempt to confront North Korea militarily, Pyongyang must quickly respond to a possible nuclear crisis and use all means and power to calm down the entire South Korea and continue to step up preparations for drastic changes. He also announced that this year he would lay the foundation for continuing to expand the scale of nuclear weapons production and launch three more military reconnaissance satellites. After North Korea failed to launch in May and August last year, it finally successfully launched its spy satellite “Mariscope-1” for the first time in November.
According to Japan’s “Toyo Keizai” quoting a report from South Korea’s Statistics Office, North Korea has lifted its lockdown due to the COVID-19 epidemic. The trade volume last year was US$1.59 billion (approximately NT$49.3 billion), with an annual growth rate of 1.5%. 122.4, but exports are only 160 million US dollars, mainly relying on minerals and slag.
Hong Min, a researcher at the Korea Institute for Unification, a South Korean think tank, believes that Kim Jong-un’s previous remarks show that North Korea’s threat to use tactical nuclear weapons once morest South Korea will be more than just words. Pyongyang will regard “South Korea” as its belligerent and will no longer regard South Korea as the same nation. Nuclear weapons will not contradict themselves. South Korea will hold a congressional election in April this year. Conservative President Yoon Seok-yue has taken a tough stance on North Korea since he came to power in May last year. The National Intelligence Service, which is equivalent to South Korea’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), recently warned that North Korea is likely to unexpectedly launch military operations once morest South Korea this year. Provocations or cyber attacks will cause political instability in South Korea.
