After Lee Tae-sung, vice minister of the DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announced that "as long as the enemy's policy exists, the armistice declaration is only a fantasy," Kim Jong-un's sister made a different statement.
Kim Yo-jong, the younger sister of Kim Jong-un, chairman of the DPRK State Affairs Commission, and vice minister of the Workers' Party of Korea, made a speech on the KOREAN side through the KCNA on the 24th, saying that as long as the ROK side is not hostile to the DPRK side, the DPRK side intends to discuss a plan to restore ROK-DPRK relations.

Kim Yo-jong commented in his conversation that from the point of view of comprehensively ending the long-term and ongoing armistice on the peninsula and eliminating hostility toward each other, the proposal of the final war declaration is not bad, but a good idea. But Kim yo-jong laid out the preconditions for achieving the end-of-war declaration, namely that the two Koreas need to respect each other, eliminate prejudice and hostile policies, and undo the double standards that are unjust. Only when the relevant conditions are met can the ROKs jointly declare the end of the war face to face, and can also discuss inter-Korean relations and the future of the peninsula.
In conclusion, Kim Yo-jong said that the ROK side glorified its own behavior but criticized the DPRK's legitimate self-defense military activities, and the ROK should abandon this unreasonable prejudice, vice, and hostile attitude. She added that it would make no sense and would not bring about change to force a smile and declare the end of the war together with a smile while the problem of inequity persisted and the resulting antagonistic relations remained unabated.
Kim Yo-jong also said that as long as the ROK side no longer provokes the DPRK side, does not make unreasonable trouble with double standards, and no longer criticizes flaws, and is cautious in its words and deeds in the future and eliminates its hostile attitude toward the DPRK, the DPRK side intends to maintain close communication with the ROK side again, and at the same time hold constructive discussions on the plan and development prospects for restoring relations.
Earlier, on the 21st local time, Moon Jae-in attended the general debate of the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, USA, and delivered an important speech, saying that the declaration of the end of the war by the relevant parties will become "the starting point for establishing a new order of reconciliation and cooperation on the Korean Peninsula", and proposed that "the DPRK, the ROK and the United States or the four parties of China, the DPRK, the ROK and the United States jointly declare the end of the state of war on the Korean Peninsula."
In this regard, Ri Tae-sung, vice minister of foreign affairs of the DPRK, said in a statement through the KCNA on the same morning that as long as there is the biggest obstacle to the end of the war -- the existence of the US hostile policy toward the DPRK -- the declaration of the end of the war is only an illusion. However, it took only 7 hours for the DPRK side to speak again in the name of Kim Yo Jong and lower its posture. It is worth noting that Lee Tae-sung's remarks were mainly aimed at the US side, demanding that the US side revoke its hostile policy toward the DPRK. But Kim's conversations were directed at the South Korean side and mentioned the possibility of restoring inter-Korean relations.
