DPRK Red Cross Chief Proposes Urgent Red Cross Working Contact with S. Korea
Pyongyang (KCNA) - The chairman of the C. C., the Red Cross Society of the DPRK Monday sent a notice to the president of the south Korean Red Cross proposing to have an urgent north-south Red Cross working contact to discuss the issue of sending back the DPRK inhabitants and a ship now in custody in south Korea.
The notice expressed deep regret at the south Korean authorities for their intention to keep four out of the 31 inhabitants under the pretext of false "defection" despite the repeated demand of the DPRK side.
It suggested to have the contact at the conference room of the former Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission at Panmunjom at 10:00 a.m. on March 9 to accurately confirm the issue of "defection" and realize the early repatriation of all of those in custody.
Three officials concerned including a member of the C.C., the Red Cross Society of the DPRK as well as family members of those four persons will go to the working contact to make face-to-face confirmation, the notice said. It asked those related to the Red Cross of the south side to bring those four persons concerned to the working contact.
