North Korea officially recognised South Korea as the most hostile nation and will thoroughly ignore and disregard it through the clearest remarks and actions. Delivering a speech on the first session of the newly elected 15th Supreme People’s Assembly, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un also warned of “merciless” consequences against South Korea if Seoul carries out any acts that provoke North Korea.

According to local media reports, North Korea had discussed a revision of its constitution, but it was not known whether such a revision officially recognised South Korea as a “hostile state.”

North Korea’s constitution calls for the peaceful reunification of the two Koreas, and Pyongyang had been expected to amend the provision after Kim ordered a legal revision in 2024 to define Seoul as the number one hostile country. North Korea has since adopted a hostile stance toward Seoul, repeatedly ruling out the possibility of inter-Korean engagement.
