According to him, the proposal of US President Joe Biden to resume the dialogue on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is a “sly cover” for the hostile policy of Washington.
Negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington stalled after the failure of the Hanoi summit in February 2019 between Kim Jong-un and then President Donald Trump. Under Joe Biden, the United States has repeatedly offered to meet with representatives of North Korea anywhere, at any time and without preconditions.
Kim also said that South Korea “continues to follow the United States” and that “mutual respect must be guaranteed and unfair views and double standards must be abandoned” before countries can officially declare the end of the Korean War of 1950-53, which ended with a ceasefire. but not a peace treaty.
However, he expressed a willingness to re-establish North-South telephone lines in early October, urging Seoul to abandon its “hostile point of view.”
