SEOUL (Reuters): South Korea's Unification Ministry on Sunday (June 14) said North Korea should honour past agreements signed between the two countries, a day after Pyongyang warned of retaliatory measures against the south that could involve the military.
"The South and the North should try to honour all inter-Korean agreements reached," the ministry said in a statement.On Saturday, it was reported that a senior diplomat of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea urged South Korea to stop"nonsensical" talk about denuclearization.
Kwon Jong-gun, director general of the Department of US Affairs of the Foreign Ministry, said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency that"it is really preposterous to hear the balderdash of South Korean authorities -- who do not have either any qualification to discuss or the position to poke their noses into the matters between the North Korea and the US, to say nothing of nuclear issues -- commenting on the resumption of DPRK-US dialogue and interpreting the...
Kwon said it is not because there is not a mediator that the North Korea-US dialogue has broken down and the denuclearisation blown off, but it is because"conditions are not met" for denuclearisation. Negotiations between the North Korea and the US were stalled after the summit between the top leaders of the two countries in Hanoi in February last year failed to reach an agreement on the denuclearisation process in the Korean Peninsula.
