Kim Yo Jong Rejects G7 Denuclearisation Demands

Kim characterized the pursuit of denuclearisation as a closed chapter, asserting that the country’s nuclear arsenal is now a permanent fixture of its national interest. By framing the G7's demands as an infringement on North Korea’s constitutional rights, she signaled that the current leadership has no intention of returning to the negotiating table. For Pyongyang, the possession of nuclear weapons represents an irreversible defensive line rather than a bargaining chip for future concessions. This rhetoric reinforces the regime's long-standing refusal to prioritize external diplomatic overtures over its internal security objectives.
