North Korean leader Kim Jong-un recently said that South Korea has now been defined as the "most hostile" country, North Korean officials said on January 10. Among the many countries that have adopted a confrontational posture toward North Korea and are building up their military capabilities, South Korea is seen as its greatest enemy. Kim Jong-un stressed that the DPRK's current priority is to strengthen its self-defense and military capabilities, especially nuclear deterrence.
Kim Jong-un made the remarks during a visit to a major military factory on January 8 and 9, KCNA reported. He said the deterioration of inter-Korean relations had become an "inevitable reality." He stressed that the DPRK will not unilaterally provoke incidents on the Korean Peninsula with overwhelming force, but it will not avoid fighting either. If South Korea dares to take military action against North Korea or threaten its sovereignty and security, North Korea will not hesitate to use all means and forces to eliminate South Korea.
When Kim Jong-un attended a meeting of the Workers' Party on January 30, he also characterized inter-Korean relations as "hostile two-state relations" and said that the two countries could never achieve reunification. He criticized the "ongoing uncontrollable crisis situation" as caused by Seoul and Washington, and said North Korea would make "fundamental policy adjustments" to South Korean relations.
Recently, the two Koreas have conducted artillery drills on the border, and some of the shells have fallen into the border buffer zone set up by the two countries, exacerbating the already tense relations between the two countries.
