SEOUL (Reuters): Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, said on Sunday (Aug 1) that if South Korea carries out a planned joint military exercise with the United States it will damage the resolve of the two Koreas to rebuild relations, state media KCNA reported.
Kim Yo-jong also said a recent decision to restore hotlines between the two Koreas should not be seen as anything more than reconnecting "physical" ties, and that it would be "thoughtless" to assume that summits are around the corner.
