Kim Yo-jong Announces End to Efforts to Schedule Summit Between North Korean and Japanese Leaders

I am wondering if the Japanese effort to start talks with North Korea was nothing more than political theater? The Japanese spokesman had to have known that his statements about discussing the abduction issue would lead to North Korea ending any possibility of bilateral talks which is what Kim Yo-jong did:

North Korea will refuse “any contact and negotiations” with Japan in the future, the powerful sister of the nuclear-armed country’s leader said Tuesday, just a day after she said Prime Minister Fumio Kishida had requested a summit with her brother, Kim Jong Un.

In a statement carried by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency, Kim Yo Jong pointed to the comments by the Japanese government’s top spokesman on Monday that Tokyo would never accept Pyongyang’s claim that the issue of Japanese nationals abducted by Pyongyang in the 1970s and 1980s had already been resolved.

“Japan has no courage to change history, promote regional peace and stability and take the first step for the fresh DPRK-Japan relations,” she said, adding that a summit meeting between the two countries’ leaders was therefore “not a matter of concern” to Pyongyang.

“The DPRK government has clearly understood once again the attitude of Japan and, accordingly, the DPRK side will pay no attention to and reject any contact and negotiations with the Japanese side,” KCNA quoted her as saying, using the acronym for the country’s formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Kim thinks his recently found wealth, selling armaments to Putin, for his Ukraine incursion is going to be a continual source of revenue, and that he now has an ally besides his patron, China. Rocketman doesn’t realize how quickly this could all fall apart, if the Ukraine situation ended, and given the delicate nature of the Chinese economy. He and/or his sister should be attempting to ease tensions with their neighbors rather than isolate themself further and increase tensions. Just because he has ICBM’s, he thinks he is a major player. One false move on his part, might turn his “hermit kingdom” into a toxic wasteland. Paranoia may be a genetic defect as exhibited by Kim Jong Un, and sister Kim Yo Jong.
