S. Korean Authorities Urged to Show Sincerity for Improving Inter-Korean Relations

 Pyongyang, September 13 (KCNA) -- Recently the south Korean authorities vociferated about achieving the reconciliation and unity between the north and the south and repairing the relations through "confidence-building" in each public appearance.
    They called for resuming the north-south high-level contact as early as possible, asserting that "the improvement of the relations" is urgent.
    A spokesman for the north side's delegation to the north-south high-level contact in a statement on Saturday termed this nothing but a hypocritical act of mocking at the nation and deceiving the world.
    This is evidenced by the anti-DPRK psychological campaigns including ever-more undisguised leaflet scattering operations, the statement noted, and went on: The south Korean authorities have become evermore frantic in their anti-DPRK leaflet scattering operations.
    They are driving the present inter-Korean relations into a deeper mire of catastrophe.
    We have already declared solemnly that the scattering of leaflets is the most undisguised practice of the psychological warfare, a gross violation of the national agreement, an open confrontation with the DPRK and an action to provoke a war against it.
    The south side will find no excuse even in case the Korean People's Army deals a retaliatory blow at any target any time to frustrate the "balloon operation".
    The KPA does not hide the fact that it is determined to wipe out "the source of psychological warfare and forces supporting and commanding it" at once in case the leaflet scattering operation kicks off.
    The north-south relations can never be improved by empty words and deceptive wordplays.
    It is a great historic cause of the nation which can be accomplished only through sincere practical actions.
    It is crystal clear to all that the north-south relations can never be mended with such stand and attitude as throwing away like a pair of old shoes even the agreement reached with the special mandate given by the top leader as what is happening at present.
    It is the primary requirement for improving the inter-Korean ties to uproot the south Korean authorities' true colors as diehard confrontation elements.
    In other words, they should halt before anything else such anti-DPRK psychological warfare as leaflet-scattering operations at once.
    The south Korean authorities should not forget that their priority task is to have elementary decency to appear before the north's delegates before repeatedly calling for the above-said contact.
    We would like to reassure them that the door will automatically open for the dialogue between the north and the south if such actions of confrontation as leaflet-scattering operations stop.
    We will continue to closely follow the attitude of the south Korean authorities. -0-
