According to him, the North and South Koreas have "effectively acted as two [separate] states" on the world stage in recent decades. Kim Jong Un recalled that the two countries joined the United Nations in 1991.

"Our decision to recognize the Republic of Korea as another, most hostile state was not sudden; it was not made yesterday or today. There is nothing new in this. It is merely an acknowledgment of facts," Kim Jong Un emphasized.

"There is absolutely no need for unification," Kim Jong Un added. "Is there any example in history where such hostile states have unified?" the country's leader said. "Why would we want such a unification if one [of the two] disappears?" Kim Jong Un asked.

"We will enshrine in law that we and the Republic of Korea are different and that we represent two distinct states that cannot unify," he concluded.
