N. Korea warned Seoul over PSI campaign at Kaesong meeting: source

SEOUL, April 22 (Yonhap) -- North Korea warned South Korea against joining the
U.S.-led anti-proliferation regime, Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), when
the countries held their first official dialogue in over a year at a joint
industrial park in the communist state this week, sources said Wednesday.

Seoul earlier said the meeting held in Kaesong on Tuesday only dealt with the
operation of the joint industrial park there.
At the meeting, the North Korean delegation said South Korea's joining the PSI
will lead to "confrontation" between the divided Koreas, informed sources told
Yonhap News Agency, asking not to be identified.
"The North Korean side made its usual claims against our side at the beginning of
the talks," a source said.
"But they were only a repeat of their previous accusations," the source said of
the reason why the Seoul government decided not to release details of the talks.
Pyongyang has steadily claimed Seoul's joining of the anti-proliferation campaign
will be considered a "declaration of confrontation" and a "declaration of war."
