The sports minister of Pyongyang declared that this year’s Tokyo Olympics would not see North Korea’s participation because of the coronavirus pandemic. This killed the hope of Seoul to resume communication with its nuclear-armed neighbour with the excuse of Tokyo games. The games of the last winter, which was hosted by the south in Pyeongchang, saw the secluded north’s participation, which a significant stimulant became in the political agreement of 2018.
There were several prominent meetings between Donald Trump, the former us president and Kim, which was initiated by Kim Jong’s presence un’s sister Kim yojong, who attended the games as his representative, creating heightened publicity. The advantage of the opportunity was taken by Moon Jae-in, who is the president of the south and formulated conversations between Washington and Pyongyang.
The hope of Seoul to take advantage of the delayed Tokyo games, which is expected to begin in July, was terminated as Pyongyang declared the non-participation of North Korea. The sports in the DPR Korea website under the sports ministry of Pyongyang said that for the safety of the players from the Covid 19 pandemic outbreak,NorthKorea’s Olympic committee planned to restrict themselves from participation in the 32nd Olympic Games. However, the observers and critics have said that several other issues may be the reason for this withdrawal or restriction from the game.
On 25thMarch, there was a meeting of the national Olympics committee, according to the Monday announcement. A report has been deducted on the committee meeting by the official KCNA news agency of the north, but they have not mentioned anything about the Olympic decision.
Pyongyang had closed its borders and became deserted more than a year ago when the coronavirus broke in the neighbouring country of china and spread throughout the world in no time. Despite the north held on that there are no coronavirus cases, the experts are unable to trust their claim. On the other hand, the lockdown has heightened the economic crisis from several international prohibitions over its blocked weapons programs.
The North Korean policy is in the final stage of review by the new us administration of Joe Biden. The officials are looking forward to the support of restarting lower-level conversations. In the series of Biden campaigns, he marked Kim as a “thug” as well as attacked the meetings of trump by declaring that he had validated and supported the world’s one of the most callous leaders and also said that he is ready to have a dialogue with such a leader. According to us officials, Pyongyang lately tested enraged missiles, which made Biden give a warning to North Korea of the after-effects for breaching the UN resolutions of the security councils. The inter-Korean relations have discontinued as the northern states that he does not want to resume communication with Seoul and blow up a cooperation office on its portion of the border last year.
