The sister of North Korea’s leader has declared that the nation will maintain its nuclear weapons capabilities and refuses to accept any threatening actions, according to reports from Yonhap News Agency on Sunday.
Kim Yo Jong’s statement comes as China’s President Xi Jinping prepares to travel to North Korea on Monday, marking his first visit to the country in almost seven years. The trip represents Beijing’s effort to strengthen relationships with Pyongyang, which remains China’s sole formal treaty partner.
During the visit, Xi is expected to hold discussions with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, focusing on their nations’ relationship and shared interests, according to statements from China’s foreign ministry.
