KCNA:Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Department Director of C.C., WKP
Kim Yo Jong, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, released the following press statement on March 23:
Kim Yo Jong, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, released the following press statement on March 23:
It was reported by foreign media that the prime minister of Japan expressed her strong willingness to realize the DPRK-Japan summit during the U.S.-Japan summit held in Washington on March 19.
But this is not the one that comes true, as wanted or decided by Japan.
If the prime minister of Japan seeks to resolve its unilateral matter not recognized by us, our state leadership will have no intention to meet or sit face to face with her.
In order for the top leaders of the two countries to meet each other, Japan should first be determined to break with its anachronistic practice and habit.
But today's Japan has gone too far in the opposite direction.
We have nothing to talk face to face to such a party still keen on obsolete thinking and impossible idea.
I don't want to see the prime minister of Japan coming to Pyongyang. However, this is just my personal position

I entrusted you with the construction of the fish pickling factory which cannot be found in the world in order to improve the diet of the people and service personnel.
