Hey, amigos! In a recent twist in East Asian diplomacy, Kim Yo Jong, a top official from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), has a message for Japan: It's time to make a real move to improve their relationship! 🕊️
So here's the scoop: Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida expressed he wants to meet with the DPRK's leader, Kim Jong Un, ASAP. Sounds promising, right? 🤝 But Kim Yo Jong thinks just talking about a summit isn't enough to fix the \"distrust and misunderstanding\" between the two countries. She believes actions speak louder than words! 🔊
According to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim Yo Jong warned that if Japan continues to meddle with the DPRK's sovereignty, Kishida's proposal might look like just a \"political stunt\" or a \"bid for popularity.\" Ouch! 😬
She didn't hold back, saying, \"When Japan infringes upon the sovereignty of the DPRK, doggedly standing hostile to it, the former will become a target of the latter, being regarded as its enemy.\" In other words, respect us, and we'll respect you back! ✊
Kim Yo Jong is calling on Japan to make a political decision that aligns with its true interests. If Japan genuinely wants to improve ties, they need to step up and make that happen. 💪
She also reassured that the DPRK's boosted self-defense capabilities aren't a threat to Japan—so long as Japan respects the DPRK's sovereignty and security interests fairly and equally. Sounds like a fair deal, right? 🤔
Will Japan take this advice to heart and make a move towards better relations? Only time will tell, but we're all ears for the next chapter in this international drama! 🎭🌏
