On the 18th, North Korea acknowledged that Joe Biden had attempted to contact the US administration, and said it did not feel the need to respond. The level of remarks towards the Biden administration has grown stronger than North Korea’s vice president Kim Yeo-jeong.

“The United States has attempted to contact us through various routes including New York since mid-February,” said Choi Sun-hee, the first vice minister of the North Korean Foreign Ministry, in a statement. “I sent a message again asking me to respond to the contact.”

However, First Injury Choi said, “I don’t think we need to respond to America’s time wages again.” I said,” he said. “We will continue to ignore such attempts by the United States in the future.”

He said, “If the dialogue itself is to take place, there must be an atmosphere in which people can sit down and exchange words with each other equally,” he said. “However, the sound that echoed after the change of government in the US He criticized that it was only a’complete denuclearization’ taryeong.”

First Injury Choi also raised his voice, saying, “The United States maintains a coercive attitude against North Korea. If you look forward to sitting face to face with us at least once, you have to fix a bad habit and change your attitude from the beginning.” He warned, “We will carefully record and watch the new US regime pick only uninteresting things from the beginning.”

Earlier, the Washington Post (WP) cited an anonymous US official and reported that “the Biden administration has tried to contact North Korea three times since mid-last month, but has not received an answer.” In this regard, White House spokesman Jen Saki officially confirmed the attempted contact on the 15th (local time), saying, “We definitely have as many channels as we always have.” “But so far, we have not received any answers,” Saki added.

Afterwards, Kim Yeo-jeong, vice president of the North Korean Labor Party, announced on the 16th, a day before the US Secretary of State and Defense, “if it is a wish to sleep for the next four years, it would be better not to create a job that would make you sleepless from the beginning.” I sent a warning message.

However, the US administration is not making a statement or responding. The Biden administration is reviewing a new policy toward North Korea that differs from the previous US government policies, such as the former administration of Donald Trump.
