SEOUL: North Korea has demolished a major monument in its capital that symbolised the goal of reconciliation with South Korea on the orders of leader Kim Jong-un, who last week called South Korea a "primary foe" and said unification was no longer possible.
Satellite imagery of Pyongyang on Tuesday (Jan 23) showed that the monument, an arch symbolising hopes for Korean reunification which was completed after a landmark inter-Korea summit in 2000, was no longer there, according to a report by NK News, an online outlet that monitors North Korea.
