(October 15) > o The Ministry of Unification strongly
condemns North Korea’s blowing up of parts of inter-Korean roads
as a clear violation of an inter-Korean agreement and a very
abnormal act. o North Korea, citing anti-North Korea
leaflets as the reason, unilaterally blew up the joint liaison
office, which had been in operation for over a year as part of
an agreement between the two Koreas. - It is deplorable
that North Korea has repeated its regressive behavior. o
The project to connect the roads and railways involved South
Korea loans worth US$133 million as it provided construction
equipment in the form of loans at the request of the North. We
reaffirm that North Korea still has an obligation to repay the
debt. o All responsibilities related to the destruction
of the inter-Korean land routes lie with North Korea. |
