Kim's sister: 'No need' for another US summitKim Yo Jong is a close adviser to her brother, North Korean leader Kim Jong UnSEOUL: The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said Friday there was "no need" for another summit with the United States unless Washington offered a "decisive change" in approach. But in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency, Kim Yo Jong -- who has emerged as one of her brother's closest advisers -- said: "There is no need for us to sit across with the US right now." If a summit was held, she said, "it is too obvious that it will only be used as boring boasting coming from someone's pride". Kim Yo Jong's statement was only her personal view, she said, but the lengthy declaration appeared intended to send multiple messages. Her brother had "entrusted me with conveying his wishes to President Trump that he would certainly achieve great successes in his work", she added.
