According to a report by the Korean Central News Agency on the 8th, Kim Yoo Jeong-cheon, head of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, said that South Korea's claim to provide “medical equipment aid” to North Korea is a “serious provocation” against North Korea. Kim Yo-jung said during the conversation that the South Korean government said on the 7th that it submitted a so-called “request for exemption from sanctions” to support North Korea's “medical equipment” to the UN Security Council sanctions committee in May this year and was “approved.” The South Korean side discussed North Korea's “shortage of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment and deteriorating health conditions,” saying it wants to provide “essential medical services to improve vulnerable groups.” This is an insult and disguised political provocation against North Korea, and is a serious violation of sovereignty.
