"Interfering Between North Korea and the US Is Presumptuous"

Kim Kye-gwan, Advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of North Korea

Kim Kye-gwan, advisor to the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, issued a statement on the 11th, revealing that he personally received a letter from U.S. President Donald Trump containing birthday congratulations for North Korean State Affairs Commission Chairman Kim Jong-un. He stated that there is a direct communication channel between North Korea and the U.S. and criticized South Korea, telling them to "not interfere."

On the same day, Advisor Kim said, "We have directly received the letter from the U.S. President, which the South Korean authorities breathlessly and excitedly announced as an urgent notification of the U.S. President's birthday congratulations."

On the previous day, Chung Eui-yong, director of the South Korean Presidential National Security Office, met with reporters at Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 10th after returning from a visit to the U.S. He revealed that during his meeting with President Trump, Trump offered kind words regarding Chairman Kim's birthday and requested, "I hope President Moon will definitely deliver this message to Chairman Kim."

Advisor Kim dismissed this as "premature excitement" and sharply warned South Korea not to harbor any illusions about playing the role of mediator between North Korea and the U.S. anymore.

Advisor Kim claimed, "It seems the South Korean authorities still do not know that there is a special communication channel between the leaders of North Korea and the U.S. They are making a fuss from the beginning of the new year, claiming to urgently deliver the U.S. President's birthday congratulations to our State Affairs Commission Chairman."

He continued, "South Korea, which is not even part of the same family, made a big deal about delivering the U.S. President's congratulations to our State Affairs Commission Chairman. It seems they still have lingering hopes of playing the role of 'mediator' in North Korea-U.S. relations."

Advisor Kim stated, "It is natural in diplomacy between countries for leaders to establish friendly relations, but South Korea arrogantly interfering in the friendship between Chairman Kim Jong-un and President Trump is somewhat presumptuous."
