Kim Jong-un's sister Kim Yo-jong stated that North Korea's nuclear status is irreversible and not subject to negotiation. Her position was voiced on June 7, 2026, shortly before the planned visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to North Korea. teraz.sk ↗
Kim Yo-jong described the country's status as a nuclear power as an irreversible reality. According to available information, she thereby rejected the notion that Pyongyang could negotiate over nuclear disarmament. North Korea's nuclear status was enshrined in the constitution in 2023, confirming that the regime considers it part of its state policy. svet.sme.sk ↗
The statement comes at a sensitive diplomatic moment. Xi Jinping is due to arrive in North Korea on Monday, in what will be his first state visit to the country since 2019. Kim Yo-jong, who holds a leadership position in the ruling Workers' Party of Korea and is considered a significant player in foreign policy, thus sent a signal ahead of the visit about the limits of any possible negotiations.

Upcoming developments will show whether the question of the nuclear program is also raised during the Chinese president's visit. However, Kim Yo-jong's statement indicates that Pyongyang currently does not admit to any retreat from its nuclear status. Spiegel.de ↗
