Pyongyang, July 28 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following press statement "The DPRK-ROK relations have gone completely beyond the time zone of the concept of homogenous" on Monday: The suspension of loudspeaker broadcasting against the DPRK, a halt to leaflet scattering and the allowance of individual ROK people for tour of the DPRK - these are details of the "sincere efforts" the Lee Jae Myung government of the ROK made since the moment of coming into office with hope for improved relations with the DPRK. In addition to that, Jong Tong Yong, newly-appointed minister of Unification, proposed putting an end to the time of power for power and opening up the time of addressing the good will in kind, the time of reconciliation and cooperation, talking about the revival of the disappeared peace and the restoration of the collapsed south-north relations. Recently, he is spinning a daydream, guessing the possibility of inviting someone to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit to be held in Kyongju a few months later. We did not care who is elected president or what policy is being pursued in the ROK and, therefore, have not made any assessment of it so far. But this time I'm going to make our stand clear. As for the suspension of the anti-DPRK psychological propaganda broadcasting which the ROK authorities described as the first signal for the restoration of confidence between the south and the north, all this is the scourge they have voluntarily invited and thus it is the issue of themselves no matter how they settle it and is nothing but a reversible turning back of what they should not have done in the first place. In other words, it is not the work worthy of appreciation. If the ROK, which had stoked the atmosphere of extreme confrontation in the past after unilaterally declaring the DPRK as its principal enemy, expected that it could reverse all the results it had made with a few sentimental words, nothing is more serious miscalculation than it. The past few years that the Lee Jae Myung government described as the worst and foolish period were not only the meaningless time for the DPRK. The DPRK could reach a very important historical conclusion that the ROK, whether it advocates the "democracy" or assumes the mask of "conservativeness", can never be the partner of reconciliation and cooperation and throw away the preconceived idea contradictory to the reality after breaking away with a very tired and uncomfortable history fettered by the rhetorical expression of fellow countrymen. We can confirm once again that the true nature of the ROK politician who is surely enslaved to the departed spirit of unification by absorption can not be changed as the fact shows that he has set as a task of the times the normal operation of the Ministry of Unification that must be dissolved along with the reality in which the state-to-state relations are permanently fixed on the Korean peninsula. When only the 50-odd days since Lee Jae Myung's assumption to power are brought to light, leaving aside the past history of the successive regimes of the ROK, the ROK authorities made such sweet remarks as defusing tension on the Korean peninsula and improving the DPRK-ROK relations, but their blind trust to the ROK-U.S. alliance and their attempt to stand in confrontation with the DPRK are little short of their predecessor's. The land of the ROK adjacent to our southern border will be stained by powder fumes through the successive large-scale joint military drills of aggressive nature, and the U.S. and the ROK will try to shift the blame for the deteriorating situation on the Korean peninsula caused by them onto us as they did in the past. The world will soon witness it. No matter how desperately the Lee Jae Myung government may try to imitate the fellow countrymen and pretend they do all sorts of righteous things to attract our attention and receive international attention, there can be no change in our state's understanding of the enemy and they can not turn back the hands of the clock of the history which has radically changed the character of the DPRK-ROK relations. We clarify once again the official stand that no matter what policy is adopted and whatever proposal is made in Seoul, we have no interest in it and there is neither the reason to meet nor the issue to be discussed with the ROK. The DPRK-ROK relations have irreversibly gone beyond the time zone of the concept of homogeneous.
