Top North Korean Official Blasts ASEAN for Urging Denuclearization Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has delivered a scathing rebuke to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) over its stance on denuclearization.
The criticism, which labeled ASEAN's position as "stupid and foolish," is a calculated response to what Pyongyang perceives as a betrayal of neutrality.
The statement was carried by state news outlet KCNA and was not merely a reaction to ASEAN's declaration at its annual regional forum held on July 23.
