Pyongyang has stripped all mentions of reunification from its constitution, underscoring a push for a more hostile policy toward Seoul.
A key clause stating that North Korea aims “to realize the unification of the motherland” no longer appears in the latest version of the constitution, which was presented at a news conference by South Korea’s Unification Ministry.
This development follows a policy address in March, during which leader Kim Jong Un labeled Seoul as the North’s “most hostile state.”
The revised constitution, reportedly introduced in March, also includes a new clause delineating North Korea’s territory. Using South Korea’s official name, the document specifies that the country’s borders encompass the area between China and Russia to the north and the “Republic of Korea to the south.”
