North Korea Removes Reunification Clause, Signaling Shift in Policy Towards South Korea
North Korea has made a significant change to its constitution by removing references to the reunification of the Korean Peninsula, a goal that has been a longstanding part of its policy. This change was reported by South Korean news outlet Yonhap and marks a shift towards a more hostile stance against South Korea. The revision, believed to have been adopted at a meeting of North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly, is the first time a territorial clause has been added to the constitution. This development comes amid increasing tensions and a rejection of dialogue from South Korean President Lee Jae Myung.
