N. Korea Leader’s Sister Attacks US-S. Korea Agreement

The "Washington Declaration" that established a US-South Korean nuclear advisory group would disturb peace and security in Northeast Asia, Kim Yo-jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, said in a statement on Saturday.

The “Washington Declaration” fabricated by the US and South Korean authorities is a typical product of their extremely hostile anti-DPRK policy reflecting the most hostile and aggressive will of action.

As such, it will only make the peace and security of Northeast Asia and the world vulnerable to more serious danger, and it is an act that can thus never be welcomed," the Korean Central News Agency quoted her as saying.

According to Kim Yo-jong, the younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, the formation of the group by Washington and Seoul, as well as the frequent military exercises, destabilizes the situation in the region, and North Korea is "compelled to take more decisive action in order to deal with the new security environment."

On Wednesday, following a summit in Washington, the presidents of South Korea and the US, Yoon Suk-yeol and Joe Biden, approved a declaration in which Seoul reaffirmed its commitment to nonproliferation, while the United States pledged to provide information on strategic and nuclear planning.
