S. Korea Urged to Drop Confrontation Policy

Pyongyang (KCNA) - The south Korean authorities' policy for confrontation with the DPRK is the main cause of blocking the north-south dialogue and fostering the distrust and tensions between Koreans, says Rodong Sinmun on February 14 in a bylined article.
It is attributable to south Korea's policy for confrontation with the DPRK that no progress was made in the recent preliminary talks for opening the north-south high-level military talks, says the article.
Earlier stop to the confrontational policy in south Korea is essential for the improved north-south relations, the paper says, and goes on:
It is impossible to repair the north-south relations if they persist in the war racket against the fellow countrymen in the DPRK, escalating the tensions, cutting the visits and contacts between the pro-reunification champions and pursuing the confrontation.
No one has the right to act contrary to the improvement of the north-south relations, a pressing issue of the times.
The desire of the fellow countrymen and the wish of the times can never be a plaything of the traitors. -0-
