청와대가 26일 '동족 범주에서 한국을 영원히 배제할 것"이란 김정은 북한 국무위원장 발언 관련해 "남·북이 서로 적대적 대결·언행을 삼가고 상호 존중·신뢰의 토대 만들어 나가야 한다"고 밝혔다.
청와대는 이날 오후 언론 공지에서 "정부는 남·북이 평화롭게 공존하고 함께 번영하는 상생 미래를 열어가기 위해 계속 노력할 것"이라며 이같이 밝혔다.
조선중앙통신에 따르면 앞서 지난 20, 21일 열린 9차 노동당 대회 사업총화 보고에서 김 위원장은 "가장 적대적 실체 대한민국과 상론할 일이 전혀 없다"며 '적대적 두 국가'로 남북 관계를 규정한 기존 노선을 재확인한 바 있다.
또 이재명 정부 대북 유화책 관련해선 "한국 현 집권 정권이 겉으로 표방하는 유화적 태도는 서투른 기만극이고 졸작"이라며 "겉으론 기만적 화해·평화를 제창하며 조선 반도 비핵화 간판 밑에 우리 무장해제를 획책하는 위해로운 존재를 같은 민족이란 타성에 포로돼 절대 불가능한 화해·통일을 이유로 계속 상대하는 건 더 이상 존속시키지 말아야 할 착오적 관행"이라고 비판한 바 있다.

The Blue House responded to Kim Jong-un's exclusion of South Korea from the category of "compatriots," saying, "South and North Korea must build a foundation of mutual respect and trust."
"South and North Korea will continue to work to open a future of mutual prosperity, peaceful coexistence," Kim said, adding, "We have absolutely no reason to discuss this with the most hostile entity, the Republic of Korea." The two countries, known as "hostile nations," reaffirmed their existing path toward inter-Korean relations.

On the 26th, the Blue House stated, regarding North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's remarks that he would "permanently exclude South Korea from the category of fellow countrymen," that "South and North Korea should refrain from hostile confrontation and actions and build a foundation of mutual respect and trust."
In a press release that afternoon, the Blue House stated, "The government will continue to strive to open a future of mutual prosperity where South and North Korea peacefully coexist and prosper together."
According to the Korean Central News Agency, in the business summary report of the 9th Workers' Party Congress held on the 20th and 21st, Chairman Kim reaffirmed his existing line of defining inter-Korean relations as "two hostile nations," stating, "There is absolutely no need to discuss anything with the Republic of Korea, the most hostile entity."
Regarding the Lee Jae-myung administration's conciliatory policy toward North Korea, the Blue House stated, "The current South Korean administration's outwardly professed conciliatory attitude is a clumsy deception and a poorly executed project." The Blue House added, "On the surface, they advocate deceptive reconciliation and peace, while hiding our interests under the banner of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula." He criticized the practice of continuing to deal with a harmful entity that is plotting disarmament, using the pretext of absolutely impossible reconciliation and unification as an excuse, as it is an erroneous practice that should no longer persist.
