The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called the U.S. push for denuclearization of her country an “anachronistic dream,” a day before Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to North Korea, which is the first in seven years.

“The U.S. assertion to backbite the status of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state has no legally binding force and no one will be bound by the U.S. unilateral rhetoric,” said Kim’s sister and senior official Kim Yo Jong in a statement distributed by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

She said that the U.S. announcement of President Donald Trump and Xi’s commitment to denuclearization in North Korea, at the Beijing Summit last month, was false.

“Some officials in the United States have failed to wake from their escapist and anachronistic dream,” she said.

Kim Yo Jong also accused the U.S. and South Korea of pushing for “ceaseless arms build ups” in her statement, and said that “steadily beefing up the nuclear war deterrent for self-defense” was “an irreversible final conclusion to be carried out unconditionally.”
