North Korea does not see a “cause or interest” for dialogue with the south
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un announced today, Monday, that there is no interest in Pyongyang to have a dialogue with Seoul, despite the new South Korean President’s desire to calm down and seek to reform relations.
Since his election in June, South Korean President Lee Jay Meong has pursued a policy that violates his predecessor towards the north, where the propaganda broadcast was suspended through loudspeakers along the border that began in response to North Korea sending balloons loaded with garbage.
Later, North Korea also suspended its propaganda broadcast, which was annoyed to the residents of the south due to strange and frightening voices.
On Monday, the official North Korean Central News Agency quoted Kim Yu Jong as saying that such gesture does not mean that Seoul must expect any improvement in relations.
She added that South Korea “expected that it would be able to turn all the results that it caused with a few emotional words, so there is no bad appreciation more dangerous than that.”
She continued, according to the report published by the Central Agency in the English: “We again clarify the official position that whatever the approved policy, and whatever the proposal submitted of Seoul, we have no interest in it, and also there is no reason to hold a meeting or a topic to discuss it with the Republic of Korea,” using the official name of the south.
She pointed out that the relations between the two Koreas “exceeded the time limits of the concept of homogeneity irreversibly.”
“On the high level of lack of confidence between the two countries due to years of hostilities.”.
“We consider this an indication that the North is closely monitoring a management policy towards North Korea,” said a spokesman for the Ministry of Monunciation, Ko Pyong Sam, at a press conference.
The two countries are still in theoretical war, because the Korean War (1950-1953) ended with a truce, not a peace treaty.
The United States, the main ally of South Korea, maintains about 28,000 soldiers in the south to help it repel any possible northern northern attacks.
The new South Korean president has stated that he would seek talks with the north without preconditions, after relations deteriorated during the era of his predecessor to its worst level in years.
