North Korea’s Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong Un, has bluntly rejected a South Korean offer to help boost the isolated country’s economy if it gives up nuclear weapons.
Kim’s comments mark the first time a senior North Korean official has commented directly on what South Korea’s President Yoon Suk-yeol has dubbed an “audacious plan” under which South Korea would offer phased economic aid to Pyongyang if it began denuclearisation.
