North Korea has officially altered its constitution in March, redefining inter-Korean relations by recognizing the two Koreas as separate states and removing all references to reunification. This constitutional revision reflects leader Kim Jong-un's 2023 declaration that relations are not "consanguineous or homogeneous" but rather "between two states hostile to each other." The amended constitution, presented by the Ministry of Unification on Wednesday, designates North Korea's territory to include the "Republic of Korea to the south" and omits prior clauses aiming for reunification. Notably, the constitution does not label South Korea as "hostile." This fundamental shift necessitates South Korea's reevaluation of its reunification-centric policy, potentially paving the way for peaceful coexistence and normalized diplomatic relations, provided it abandons the principle of an interim relationship toward reunification.
