Things to Come and Go

Kim Yo-jong (김여정), sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (김정은) and Deputy Department Director of the Publicity and Information Department of the Workers’ Party of Korea, has spoken out twice in two days in favour of a resumption of peace talks with South Korea, but “only if impartiality and mutual respect are guaranteed”, she said. In such case, a summit could be held “at an early date through constructive discussions”.
