A: Hey there! Did you catch the news today?
B: No, what's up?

A: So, Kim Jong Un's sister said something interesting about talks with America!
B: Oh yeah? What did she say?

A: Well, she said their relationship isn't bad, but if it's for denuclearization, it could be a joke.
B: Hmm, sounds complicated... But she also said they might talk again?

A: Yeah! She said it'd be unwise to go in a confrontational direction since both have nukes.
B: So, no denuclearization, but maybe talks for peace? That's good news, right?

A: Well, it's not clear if future talks will demand denuclearization though...
B: Trump still wants to talk to Kim, right? He wants a denuclearized North Korea.

A: Exactly! A White House official said Trump is open to meeting again for that very reason.
B: Interesting... Guess we'll see what happens next!

The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has suggested the possibility of new summit talks with the US, but ruled out Pyongyang giving up its nuclear-weapons program.



Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party, issued a statement via the state-run media on Tuesday.



She said, "I do not want to deny the fact that the personal relationship between the head of our state and the present US president is not bad."



But Kim added that if the personal relations of the two are to serve the purpose of denuclearization, "it can be interpreted as nothing but a mockery of the other party."



She reiterated North Korea's "irreversible position" as a nuclear-weapons state.



Kim stressed that "it is by no means beneficial to each other for the two countries possessed of nuclear weapons to go in a confrontational direction," suggesting that fresh talks with the US are possible.



But her remarks are viewed as a rejection that any future talks would be based on the premise of North Korea's denuclearization.



US President Donald Trump met Kim Jong Un three times in 2018 and 2019 during his first term. Trump was not able to reach agreement with Kim but is still willing to meet him again in his current term.



Reuters news agency quoted a White House official as saying, "Trump remains open to engaging with Kim to achieve a fully de-nuclearized North Korea."
