(Tasnim) – A top North Korean official warned the United States on Tuesday not to misinterpret comments by her leader, saying doing so would end in disappointment, as a US envoy aiming to get talks with the North back on track met South Korea's president.
Kim Yo Jong, a senior official in North Korea's ruling party and sister of leader Kim Jong Un, released a statement in state media saying the United States appeared to be interpreting signals from North Korea in the "wrong way".
She was responding to US National Security adviser Jake Sullivan, who on Sunday said he saw as an "interesting signal" in a recent speech by Kim Jong Un on preparing for both confrontation and diplomacy with the United States, Reuters reported.
"It seems that the US may interpret the situation in such a way as to seek a comfort for itself," she said in the statement, carried by the North's KCNA state news agency.
"The expectation, which they chose to harbor the wrong way, would plunge them into a greater disappointment."
North Korea's nuclear weapons programme has been a seemingly intractable problem for the United States for years.
US President Joe Biden's administration has conducted a review of North Korea policy that concluded the United States would seek to find "calibrated and practical" ways of inducing it to give up its nuclear weapons.
Kim's warning to the United States came as the recently appointed US special representative for North Korea, Sung Kim, was visiting South Korea to meet senior officials, including President Moon Jae-in.
