Kim Jong Un has presented his daughter as his successor. He rejected talks with South Korea and announced an increase in nuclear weapons and supported Iran while condemning American-Israeli attacks in the Middle East.
Pyongyang: After a week-long ruling party congress in North Korea, Kim Jong Un gifted new sniper rifles to top military officials. He said that these weapons are a symbol of his ‘unwavering trust’. But the eyes of the world were fixed on Kim’s daughter, whose pictures have surfaced of her aiming a gun in the shooting range. Political experts are considering this as a clear indication of preparing Kim’s daughter Kim Ju Ae as his successor.
Kim has also made many major changes in his government. He has made his sister Kim Yo Jong the director of the General Affairs Department in the Central Committee of the party. Kim Yo Jong, who often makes strong statements against America and South Korea, will now have a lot of influence in the party’s internal affairs and administrative decisions. At the same time, efforts to establish daughter Ju A as the future ruler of North Korea’s media, who appeared in military programs with her father wearing a leather coat, are clearly visible.
In this important party congress held every five years, Kim outright rejected any possibility of talks with South Korea. He announced that his military was capable of completely destroying a neighboring country and that he would continue to increase his stockpile of nuclear weapons. He placed strict conditions on talks with America. Kim said talks could resume only if Washington abandons its “hostile policies” and recognizes North Korea’s nuclear status. This announcement by Kim can create a big stir at the international level in the coming days.

North Korea has described Israel and America’s military actions in the Middle East as a violation of international law. He called it an ‘unacceptable occupation’. North Korea’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that this is a direct attack on Iran’s sovereignty. The country’s state news agency KCNA reported that such attacks were already expected given America’s ‘bullying attitude and hooligan nature’.
Major Israeli air strikes on Tehran following the death of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei have plunged Middle East into serious instability. North Korea has made it clear that these ‘aggressive wars’ between America and Israel cannot be justified in any way. The statement also demanded that neighboring countries that want peace and stability in the region should fulfill their responsibilities in this matter.
