North Korea Slams Door on Peace Talks, Calls South's Overtures a 'Great Miscalculation'

North Korea has firmly rejected recent attempts by South Korea's new president, Lee Jae Myung, to open dialogue and ease tensions between the two countries. Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, publicly dismissed Seoul's outreach, stating that North Korea has 'no interest' in talks or reconciliation. She labeled South Korea's peace efforts as a 'great miscalculation' and reiterated that the South remains an 'enemy.' This hardline stance signals that Pyongyang is unwilling to engage in diplomatic efforts under the current South Korean administration. The rejection dampens hopes for improved inter-Korean relations in the near future.
