[2nd Report] North Korea: "Declaration of End of War is Premature... Withdrawal of Hostile Policy is Top Priority"
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun]North Korea recently demanded the withdrawal of the United States' hostile policy, calling the push for a declaration of the end of the war proposed by President Moon Jae-in at the UN General Assembly "premature."
Ri Tae-sung, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated in a commentary released through the Korean Central News Agency on the 24th, "All facts prove that it is not yet time to declare the end of the war," emphasizing, "Unless the political environment surrounding us changes and the US hostile policy is altered, declaring the end of the war a hundred times will not change anything."

Vice Minister Ri argued, "At this point, a declaration of the end of the war does not help stabilize the situation on the Korean Peninsula at all and could be misused as a smokescreen to conceal the US hostile policy," pointing out that "the US's double standards and withdrawal of hostile policy are the top priorities for stabilizing the situation and ensuring peace on the Korean Peninsula."
