Kim Yo-jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, declared on Thursday that her country's nuclear-armed status is "absolute" and labeled anyone expecting denuclearization as "idiots."

The remarks were made during the ongoing International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) general conference in Vienna, where discussions regarding efforts to denuclearize North Korea were anticipated. North Korea has previously formalized its position by legally enshrining its status as a nuclear weapons state.
