Earlier in the day, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung expressed regret during a Cabinet meeting over a cross-border drone incident. Hours later, Kim Yo-jong said “our leader” viewed Lee’s response as stemming from an “honest and broad-minded” character.
In a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim Yo-jong said Pyongyang regarded Lee as “wise” for directly expressing regret and pledging steps to prevent a recurrence.
She added that Kim Jong-un had taken note of Lee’s response in a positive light.
Pyongyang nevertheless warned against any provocative acts and ruled out any immediate effort to resume inter-Korean contact.
