S. Korean Chief Executive Accused of Turning down DPRK's Proposal for Dialogue

Pyongyang, May 30 (KCNA) -- Newspapers here Sunday in their commentaries denounce the south Korean authorities for taking an improper attitude toward the DPRK's proposal for dialogue. Shortly ago, a spokesman for the Ministry of Unification of south Korea talked nonsense that the DPRK's proposal for north-south military authorities' talks is aimed to incite "conflict in the south" and make "a crack in the international sanctions against the north". The south Korean ruling quarters' unreasonable denial of the proposal is nothing but a very irresponsible and imprudent behavior, Rodong Sinmun says, and goes on: It is the unshakable stand and will of the DPRK to solve the issue of the inter-Korean relations facing catastrophe through dialogue and negotiations, not by confrontation and military clash. Dialogue and negotiations are the way for putting the grave situation under control. They had better stop misleading the public over the issue of dialogue and behave themselves, clearly understanding the DPRK's will for dialogue aimed at detente and peace on the Korean peninsula and improved inter-Korean relations. Minju Joson warns that if the south Korean authorities turn down the DPRK's sincere proposal for dialogue with far-fetched assertions quite contrary to the trend of the times and the public mind-set, they will only commit indelible disgrace and crimes to be recorded in the history of the nation. -0-
