  "summary": "Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, has stated that her country's status as a nuclear weapons state is \"absolute\" and cannot be reversed. According to KBS World Radio and The Korea Times, she made the remarks in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency.\n\nThe statement comes as the 70th regular session of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference is underway in Vienna, Austria. The IAEA has expressed concern over North Korea's expanding nuclear capacity and urged Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons program.\n\nKim Yo-jong dismissed international calls for denuclearization as \"all noises\", according to The Korea Times. The IAEA Director General's Safeguards Report on North Korea detailed a substantial increase in Pyongyang's uranium enrichment capacity and the expansion of its core nuclear facilities.",
