SEOUL, South Korea \u2014 The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called a U.S. push for the denuclearization of North Korea an \u201canachronistic dream,\u201d saying Sunday the North will steadily expand its nuclear arsenal in the face of U.S.-led threats.<\/p>\n

The statement came a day before Chinese President Xi Jinping visits North Korea for talks with Kim Jong Un, in his first visit to the country in seven years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. assertion to backbite the status of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state has no legally binding force and no one will be bound by the U.S. unilateral rhetoric,\u201d said Kim\u2019s sister and senior official, Kim Yo Jong, using the abbreviation for North Korea\u2019s official name.<\/p>\n

She dismissed as \u201cfalse information\u201d a U.S. announcement that President Donald Trump and Xi confirmed their shared goal to denuclearize North Korea in their summit in Beijing last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome officials in the United States have failed to wake from their escapist and anachronistic dream,\u201d Kim Yo Jong said.<\/p>\n

North Korea has been focusing on enlarging its nuclear arsenal since Kim Jong Un\u2019s high-stakes diplomacy with Trump collapsed in 2019. Experts say the North Korean leader wants an international recognition as a nuclear state so that he could demand lifting of international economic sanctions on North Korea.<\/p>\n

During a visit to a new nuclear materials production plant last week, Kim Jong Un said North Korea would bolster the country\u2019s nuclear forces \u201cat an exponential rate.\u201d On Sunday, North Korea\u2019s state media reported Kim Jong Un visited a weapons factory the previous day and called for increasing the country\u2019s missile production capacity 2.5 times under a five-year plan period.<\/p>\n

In her statement, Kim Yo Jong accused the U.S. and South Korea of pushing for \u201cceaseless arms build-ups,\u201d saying her brother\u2019s push for \u201csteadily beefing up the nuclear war deterrent for self-defense\u201d is \u201can irreversible final conclusion to be carried out unconditionally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Analysts say Xi\u2019s visit to North Korea is largely meant to reassert China\u2019s influence over North Korea, whose foreign policy priority has shifted to Russia in recent years. They say Xi will likely refrain from directly raising the denuclearization issue and offer economic assistance programs during his meeting with Kim Jong Un.<\/p>\n

North Korea has sent troops and conventional weapons to Russia to back its war efforts against Ukraine. South Korean and U.S. officials say North Korea has received economic and other assistance from Russia in return.<\/p>\n
