DPRK official newspaper warns of possible freeze of inter-Korean relations
16/10/2008 16:15
The official Rodong Sinmun daily of the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea (DPRK) today warned against a possible freeze of the inter-Korean
relations.
South Korea's Lee Myung Bak administration, which approached an
anti-DPRK policy to flatter the United States, was responsible for the tension
between the two Koreas, it said in a commentary.
"If the group of traitors
keeps to the road of reckless confrontation with the DPRK, defaming its dignity
despite its repeated warnings, this will compel it to make a crucial decision
including the total freeze of the north-south relations," the article
said.
Relations between the two Koreas have soured since the new conservative
South Korean government was inaugurated in February which vowed to take a
tougher line on Pyongyang.
The DPRK threatened to stop all contact with South
Korea in April.
Government contacts between the two Koreas have been
suspended following Lee's inauguration, but non-governmental exchanges
continued.
