North Korean leader Kim Jong-un declared on Sunday that he will not seek reconciliation or unification with South Korea because it is no longer possible.

According to Kim, Seoul has declared that the North is its main enemy. As a result, the Workers' Party has also concluded that the path of unification is not achievable. "If we look closely at the confrontational military actions by the enemy forces ... the word 'war' has become a realistic reality and not an abstract concept," he added.

The remarks came at the end of the five-day plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
