[Report file] North Korea "If you want to restore inter-Korean relations..." North Korea comforts adults

Kim Yeo-jeong's discourse on the night of Saturday (25th) gives two major messages.

First, there is a will to improve inter-Korean relations.

North Korea said that 'the desire to restore inter-Korean relations is no different in North Korea' and that inter-Korean relations can improve if 'the attitude of fairness and respect for each other is maintained'.

The directions for improvement of inter-Korean relations that Kim Yo-jong specifically stated are such as smooth communication between the two Koreas, the declaration of an end to the war, the reinstallation of the inter-Korean joint liaison office, and the inter-Korean summit.

Here, 'smooth inter-Korean communication' seems to mean the restoration of inter-Korean communication lines.

The 'reinstallation of the joint liaison office' is a priority to apologize as North Korea bombed it, but it is mentioned as one of the favors that North Korea bestows on South Korea.

North Korea's perspective on inter-Korean relations is clearly revealed.

Second, South Korea must make the 'right choice' if it wants to improve inter-Korean relations.

As for what the 'right choice' is, Yeo-Jung Kim suggested 'double standards' as a representative example.

North Korea's military action is called 'provocation' and South Korea's military action is 'Securing deterrence against North Korea'.

Although it may seem plausible at first glance, the reason that various criticisms and sanctions are followed for North Korea's military actions is that North Korea is a heretic who does not follow the rules of the international community.

Since North Korea is not complying with the norms of the international community while developing its nuclear weapons, several UN Security Council resolutions have been adopted, which prohibit North Korea from launching any kind of ballistic missile.

The development of ballistic missile technology by South Korea and other countries is a matter of individual sovereignty, but North Korea's development of ballistic missiles is a violation of Security Council sanctions.

If you think this is unfair, North Korea can just give up its nuclear program.

Kim Yeo-jung, along with the double standard, said, "I hope that the South Korean authorities' moves to eliminate all sparks such as hostile policies toward North Korea and hostile words and actions appear as a noticeable action."

Combining the two messages from North Korea, it is intended to improve inter-Korean relations, but to see how South Korea does it.

The intention is to put pressure on the South Korean government, which wants to improve inter-Korean relations, so that even if North Korea takes military action, it will not quarrel.

Kim Yeo-jung "Personal opinion to the end"

In announcing such a discourse, Kim Yeo-jeong said, "I would like to make sure that it is clear that it is only a personal opinion."

It is clear that it contains the intentions of Chairman Kim Jong-un from anyone looking at it, but the proviso of 'personal opinion' seems to have opened up room for a change of position according to changes in the situation in the future.

On the other hand, by publishing a discourse stating various demands about South Korea and showing a position like 'this may be the case', you get the impression that you are playing with South Korea.

The warning that "I will not predict whether there will be a warm wind or a storm in the future" is also a way of comforting adults by saying, 'Do you want me to accept the card North Korea offered me?'

Possibility of 'restoring inter-Korean relations' and 'military action' together

From North Korea's attitude, North Korea is likely to engage in two-pronged actions.

First, it is a gradual restoration of inter-Korean relations.

Sooner or later, we can restore the disconnected communication line and send a signal to improve inter-Korean relations.

Even if only the communication line is restored, the possibility of an inter-Korean summit at the end of his term in South Korea will be raised again.

However, military actions such as missile launches may also continue with this.

It is possible that they are doing something that violates UN sanctions, such as launching a ballistic missile, and we will see what the South Korean government has to say about it.

I warned you not to argue with North Korea's military action, but if the South Korean government takes issue again, it may try to put pressure on the South Korean government by suspending inter-Korean relations again.

Knowing that the South Korean government is clinging to inter-Korean relations until the end of his term, North Korea would consider this pressure a valid South Korean card.

It would be great if inter-Korean relations could improve.

However, we cannot do it without saying what we should say because of the conditions that North Korea has put forward.

We must go out of our way by sticking to our standards.

To do that, we need to have a 'cool' attitude rather than clinging to inter-Korean relations.
