2011-03-04
PYONGYANG, March 4 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Friday urged South Korean authorities to guarantee free engagement and communications between the non-governmental organizations of the north and the south, the official news agency KCNA reported.
According to the KCNA, a spokesman for the National Reconciliation Council issued a statement Friday to denounce the Ministry of Unification of South Korea for cutting off communications between the NGOs. Such action is "an outrageous action against human rights and reunification," the spokesman said.
This action revealed that South Korean authorities are keen to escalate confrontation with fellow countrymen and hatch a plot against the country's reunification in violation of elementary human rights, far from working for national harmony, peace and reunification, the spokesman said.
He asked South Korean authorities to abandon the policy of confrontation with the DPRK, stop the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises and guarantee people from all walks of life the freedom to discuss reunification and conduct activities for it without delay.
