North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has suggested his country could “get along” with the United States but declared that South Korea — Washington’s security ally — remained its “most hostile” enemy, state media reported Thursday.
Kim made the remarks at the end of a landmark party congress, urging Washington to respect Pyongyang’s status as a nuclear power.
If Washington “respects our country’s current status as stipulated in the Constitution… and withdraws its hostile policy… there is no reason why we cannot get along well with the United States”, Kim said, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). (AFP)
