PYONGYANG, March 23 (Xinhua) -- A senior official of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said she does not "want to see the prime minister of Japan coming to Pyongyang," the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Monday.
"However, this is just my personal position," said Kim Yo Jong, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
Kim's remarks came after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi expressed during her recent visit to Washington her intent for a summit with the DPRK leader.
"This is not the one that comes true, as wanted or decided by Japan," Kim said.
"If the prime minister of Japan seeks to resolve its unilateral matter not recognized by us, our state leadership will have no intention to meet or sit face to face with her," she added.
