Kim Yo Jong, sister of the North Korean leader, criticized the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Thursday, describing the agency's concerns about North Korea's nuclear program as "baseless." She emphasized that her country's nuclear status is unchangeable and that this program is part of North Korea's national security.
Response to International Concerns
In her remarks, Kim Yo Jong explicitly stated that the International Atomic Energy Agency has made mistakes in assessing the nuclear status of her country, according to her and the North Korean government. She asserted that international efforts to eliminate North Korea's nuclear program will have no effect and that this program is essential as a defensive tool against external threats.

Dimensions of North Korea's Nuclear Program
North Korea's nuclear program has long been regarded as one of the major security challenges on a global scale. In recent years, the country has conducted several nuclear tests and launched ballistic missiles, raising significant concerns among neighboring countries and other global powers. Despite economic sanctions and international pressures, North Korea continues to develop its nuclear program, and according to Kim Yo Jong, this trend will not stop anytime soon.
Furthermore, Kim Yo Jong emphasized that North Korea will not respond to the demands of the International Atomic Energy Agency and challenged the agency for its repeated criticisms of her country's nuclear program. She also warned the United States and other countries that any hostile actions against North Korea will be met with a strong response from her country.
Kim Yo Jong's statements come as the International Atomic Energy Agency has recently reported an increase in nuclear activities in North Korea and has urged the country to adhere to its commitments regarding the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. However, it seems that North Korea is ignoring these requests and is seeking to strengthen its nuclear program.
