ALBAWABA - Addressing North Korea’s Supreme People's Assembly on Monday, Kim Jong-un asserted the country's need to re-define relations with South Korea by making changes in the constitution.
"Today the Supreme People's Assembly newly legalized the policy of our Republic toward the south on the basis of putting an end to the nearly 80-year-long history of inter-Korean relations and recognizing the two states both existing in the Korean peninsula," Kim Jong-un told the Supreme People's Assembly.
"The final conclusion drawn from the bitter history of the inter-Korean relations is that we cannot go along the road of national restoration and reunification together with the Republic of Korea (ROK) clan that adopted as its state policy the all-out confrontation with our Republic, dreaming of the collapse of our government," Kim continued.
Kim stressed that the relations between the North and South have been completely transformed into those between two hostile states and two hostile states, rather than related or homogeneous ones, proposing serious revision of the North Korean constitution.
"It is necessary to take legal steps to legitimately and correctly define the territorial sphere where the sovereignty of the DPRK as an independent socialist nation is exercised," Kim told the assembly attendees, using the official name of North Korea.
"We can specify in our constitution the issue of completely occupying, subjugating and reclaiming the ROK and annex it as a part of the territory of our Republic in case a war breaks out on the Korean peninsula," Kim said, urging the lawmakers to deal with South Korea as "primary foe and invariable principal enemy".
