Kim Jong-un Calls South Korea ‘Permanent Enemy’ Wanting to Eliminate ‘Peaceful Reunification’

North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un has stated it is important to reflect in the constitution the issue of “completely occupying, pacifying, and restoring South Korea in case of war, and incorporating it into the territory of the Republic,”.

Chairman Kim, in his policy speech at the Supreme People’s Assembly held in Pyongyang on the 15th, said that the constitution needs to be amended to reflect the territorial clause, according to the Korean Central News Agency reported on the 16th.

He said, “If the Republic regards South Korea as a counterpart for reconciliation and unification and a compatriot, which is a contradictory reality, and strictly regulates it as an utterly foreign country, the most hostile country, a legal countermeasure is necessary to accurately define the area of sovereignty exercise.”

He emphasized that it is right to stipulate in the relevant clause that residents do not use residual words that mislead the North and South as compatriots, such as ‘three thousand miles of beautiful rivers and mountains’ and ’80 million compatriots’, and that “educational and cultural projects should be strengthened to firmly regard South Korea as the first hostile country, an immutable enemy.”

Also, he said, “Expressions in the constitution such as ‘northern half’, ‘independent, peaceful unification, national great unity’ should now be deleted,” and “the Republic’s constitution should be amended to reflect these issues and should be deliberated at the next Supreme People’s Assembly.”
