The Diplomat: North Korea Issues Warning After US-South Korea Summit 

The powerful sister of the North Korean leader released a statement denouncing the Washington Declaration and the new Nuclear Consultative Group. 

Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Pyongyang’s main voice on inter-Korean relations, denounced the “Washington Declaration” and “Nuclear Consultative Group,” two main initiatives that were introduced during the South Korea-U.S. summit meeting on April 26. 

“The ‘Washington Declaration’ fabricated by the U.S. and South Korean authorities is a typical product of their extreme anti-DPRK hostile policy reflecting the most hostile and aggressive will of action,” Kim said in her statement published in Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), one of the main North Korean state-controlled media, on April 29.
