Kim calls for S Korea to be seen as ‘primary foe’, warns of war

SEOUL, Jan 16: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Monday called for the constitution to be changed to ensure that South Korea is seen as the "primary foe" and warned his country did not intend to avoid war should it happen, state media KCNA reported on Tuesday.
In a speech to the Supreme Peoples Assembly, North Koreas rubber-stamp parliament, Kim said he had concluded that unification with the South was no longer possible, and accused Seoul of seeking regime collapse and unification by absorption.
Kim said the constitution should be amended to educate North Koreans that South Korea is a "primary foe and invariable principal enemy" and define the Norths territory as separate from the South.    —REUTERS
