While addressing the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) late on Saturday, Ri stressed reunification was "the main goal" of his country and "the biggest desire of the whole nation", according to ITAR-TASS and DPA.
The minister, however, described South Korea's current proposals as "unrealistic", making it clear a confederation where the Pyongyang regime and the Seoul government could coexist was the only viable option.
In Ri's words, such a confederation was the only way to prevent a war and promote peace.
