SEOUL — The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attacked the bloc of Southeast Asian nations on Monday for seeking a denuclearized Korean peninsula, blasting the position as “stupid and foolish.”
At its annual regional forum last week, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) expressed “grave concern” over Pyongyang’s ongoing nuclear weapons development and stressed the importance of dialogue “to realize lasting peace and stability in a denuclearized Korean Peninsula.”
