Kim Yo Jong, Vice Department Director of C.C., WPK, Censures Seoul Authorities for Deceptive Attempt at "Appeasement Offensive"

Date: 20/08/2025 | Source: KCNA.kp (En) | Read original version at source

Pyongyang, August 20 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, at a consultative meeting with major director generals of the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK on August 19 sharply criticized the essence of the deceptive "appeasement offensive" of the ROK government and its double character and conveyed the foreign policy plan of the head of state.

Kim Yo Jong analyzed the behaviour of Seoul which is feigning that the ROK's policy towards the DPRK is making a "rapid U-turn" while saying that it respects the social system of the DPRK and will not seek any form of unification by absorption and has no intention of committing all hostile acts.

She said that now the president of the ROK, whenever an opportunity presents itself, is talking about "pebble", "trust" and "patience" like a vagarious poet, saying that "mutual trust would be restored if little practices are piled up like pebbles" and Jong Tong Yong, a minister serving the ROK authorities, put forth a so-called five-point core tasks in a report on major work plan at a foreign affairs and unification committee of the National Assembly.

Saying that it is like an endemic in Seoul where every regime and everyone have a dream and interpret it of their own accord and express "hope" and "idea" as they please, she disclosed the strange nature of the ones in the ROK and their sinister intention.

She said:

Commenting on the idea, every word and phrase of it is a fancy and a pipedream.

It's like listening to a resolution speech.

As the old saying goes that it takes two to wrestle, how can he put such a resolution into practice by himself alone?

The ROK people seem satisfied only to hear a government official's resolution full of such unrealizable dreams.

Certainly, we can see at once the "serious efforts" to create a good impression that something is changing for the "improvement" of the DPRK-ROK relations after Lee Jae Myung took power.

The real intention is to show continuously that they are making steady efforts for peace.

But no matter how desperately the stinky confrontational nature is swathed in a wrapper of peace, the awl in the sack can never be hidden.

We have witnessed and experienced the dirty political system of the ROK for decades as well as the process of regime change from Moon Jae In to Yoon Suk Yeol and now we are sick and tired of it.

To state the conclusion, the ambition for confrontation with the DPRK has been invariably pursued by the ROK, whether it held the signboard of "conservatism" or wore a mask of "democracy".

Lee Jae Myung is not the sort of man who will change the course of history.

We clearly remember that Jo Hyon and An Kyu Baek, the chiefs of diplomacy and defense, which form the basis of the Lee Jae Myung regime, openly said at a time when they were designated as candidates that they regard the north Korean regime and the north Korean army as their enemies.

At this moment, the Lee Jae Myung regime is repeating the predecessors' gibberish of "defensive drill" even after staging the reckless U.S.-ROK war drill for aggression directly threatening the security of the DPRK.

This is the part clearly illuminating the double character of the Seoul authorities who are carrying two faces under the hood.

As I emphasized a few days ago, there is a clear purpose for the rulers of the ROK in producing amicable image.

They also know that the DPRK-ROK relations desired by them will never come back.

If they don't know, they will be idiots.

They continue to tediously talk about peace and improved relations, being well aware that it is impossible to realize them, because they have an ulterior motive to finally shift the responsibility for the DPRK-ROK relations failing to recover on to the DPRK.

We should not forget the fact that any one in the ROK is the top-class faithful dog of the U.S.

In particular, we should pay attention to the fact that through the current joint military drill, which is being staged again while making a sign of reconciliation, the ROK is examining a new combined operation plan ("OPLAN 5022") for "removing" the nuclear and missile capabilities of the DPRK at an early stage and expanding the attack into its territory.

Clarifying once again on this occasion, the ROK cannot be a diplomatic partner of the DPRK.

The ROK, which is not serious, weighty and honest, will not have even a subordinate work in the regional diplomatic arena centered on the DPRK.

The DPRK Foreign Ministry should seek a proper countermeasure as regards the relations with the most hostile state and the states listening to its instigation, based on the conclusion of our head of state who pointed out the essence of the ROK.

At the consultative meeting, Kim Yo Jong conveyed the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un 's foreign policy plan for taking a preemptive counteraction in a diplomatic way against the enemy states posing a lasting danger to the sovereignty and security of the DPRK and for controlling the rapidly-changing regional and international geopolitical situation in conformity with the national interests of the DPRK and held an in-depth discussion on the orientation of the immediate diplomatic activities. -0-
