SpaceWar.com reports: “North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called South Korea a ‘foreign country’ and rejected the goal of reunification, state media reported Friday, days after Pyongyang blew up sections of roads and railways connecting it with the South.

Kim made the remarks during an inspection of the headquarters of the 2nd Corps of the Korean People’s Army on Thursday, the official Korean Central News Agency reported.

‘He stressed that our army should keep in mind once again the stark fact that the ROK is a foreign country and an apparent hostile country,’ KCNA reported, using the official acronym for South Korea.

Kim called the blasting of the roads, once seen as a symbol of improving relations between the two Koreas, ‘the physical closure but also the end of the evil relationship with Seoul, which persistently lasted century after century.’

He added that the detonations would completely remove the ‘unreasonable idea of reunification.’

On Thursday, state media reported that North Korea’s Constitution now defines South Korea as a ‘hostile state’ in the first indication of changes made during a parliamentary meeting last week.

Kim called the South the ‘invariable principal enemy’ earlier this year and publicly called for a constitutional change rejecting the long-held official goal of reunification…”
