SEOUL, Oct 8 (Reuters) – North Korea’s Kim Yo Jong said on Thursday that South Korea’s preparations to provide medical equipment aid to Pyongyang amounted to a political provocation and a violation of its sovereignty.
In a statement carried by state media KCNA, Kim said the hostile nature of inter-Korean relations and South Korea’s “identity” could not change, and reiterated that North Korea saw no need to deal with Seoul.
