The North Korean leader's powerful sister said on Thursday that the country has never taken down propaganda loudspeakers and will not do so, calling South Korea's belief that Pyongyang was responding to its peace overtures a "pipedream.

Pyongyang denied south Korea's claims that some of the loudspeakers along the borders were removed. Dialogue prospects between the two countries seem poor as Kim Yo Jong said her country has no interest in the South.

The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has rebuffed outreach by South Korea’s new liberal government, saying that North Korea has no interests in talks with South Korea, no matter what proposal its rival offers.
