North Korea appears to have entered South Korea's lockdown in the structure of the international confrontation between the United States and China through continuous personal discourses in North Korea.
North Korea's "Rodong Sinmun" released on the 24th, Kim Jong-un's response to Chinese President Xi Jinping's 'Reply to the 73rd anniversary of the establishment of the North Korean regime (sent on the 22nd)' through the "Rodong Sinmun" on the 24th.
On the 24th, the United States held its first face-to-face quadruple summit at the White House and announced in a joint statement that North Korea complied with the Security Council resolutions, urged substantive dialogue, and resolved the abductees.
“I am very pleased that the comrade unity and cooperation between the DPRK and China are constantly being strengthened in the common struggle to protect and glorify socialism while crushing the vicious challenges and obstruction maneuvers of hostile forces,” the North Korean response said. “I am confident that the traditional DPRK-China friendship will be sublimated and developed day by day through the joint efforts of the two parties and the two countries, and will fully show off its invincible vitality,” he said.
On the 24th, the Rodong Sinmun published the reply sent by the Rodong Sinmun on the 22nd about President Xi's celebration of the 73rd anniversary of the establishment of the North Korean regime on the 24th.
Prior to Kim's first speech, North Korea's foreign minister said, "As long as the political environment surrounding us does not change and the US hostile policy does not change, even if we declare the end of the war a hundred times, nothing will change." Rather, a declaration of an end to the war will only lead to disastrous results that will destroy the strategic balance of the region and drive the north and the south into an endless arms race amid the continued strengthening of the US-South Korean alliance,” he said. The declaration of an end to the war is only an illusion as long as the US hostile policy toward the DPRK, which is the biggest obstacle to the DPRK, remains.>
Vice-Chairman Kim's first discourse said, "I leave the existing unfairness and serious confrontational and hostile relations as it is, laughing and smiling at each other, reading the declaration of the end of the war or taking pictures, etc. Even if I did, I don't think anything would change. When the end of the war is declared, respect for each other is guaranteed and the prejudice towards the other side, the harsh hostile policy, and the unfair double standard must be withdrawn first.”
In his second personal discourse, Vice-Chairman Kim said, "If the attitude of fairness and respect is maintained, I think that the inter-Korean summit can be resolved meaningfully and gracefully through constructive discussions." I got the feeling that it was too intense," he said, referring to 'South Korean politics'.
Vice-Chairman Kim's first personal statement about South Korea was, "We must abandon these double and illogical prejudices, evil habits, and hostile attitudes that glorify the justification and legitimacy of their actions and slander our legitimate exercise of self-defence. “Only when these prerequisites are met, we will be able to sit down and declare a meaningful end to the war, and discuss inter-Korean relations and evangelism issues on the Korean Peninsula.”
Vice-Chairman Kim's second discourse about the possibility of reinstalling the liaison office, the inter-Korean summit, and a declaration of an end to the war, said, "I would like to make it clear that it is only a personal opinion." "I've done it before. I'm not going to predict whether there will be a warm wind or a storm."
The second discourse was delivered by the Korean Central News Agency in the late night of the 25th, saying, "We, too, have no different desires for the restoration of inter-Korean relations and peaceful stability." I think it can be resolved meaningfully and gracefully."
In a joint statement with the leaders of Japan, India and Australia on the 24th of the first ‘quad’ summit, the United States urged North Korea to comply with its UN obligations and refrain from provocations. We also urge North Korea to engage in substantive dialogue.”
The Quad Summit, held as the first face-to-face meeting at the White House, was attended by President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The joint statement said, "According to the resolution of the UN Security Council, we reaffirmed North Korea's commitment to complete denuclearization and also confirmed the need for an immediate resolution to the issue of Japanese abductees."
On the 26th, the Ministry of Unification said, "Through the discourse, Vice-Chairman Kim of North Korea hopes for a speedy recovery of inter-Korean relations and peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. It is meaningful to evaluate the statement that it can be resolved. For this kind of discussion, the inter-Korean communication line must first be restored quickly." I hope to be there,” he said.
