Spokesperson’s statement on North Korea’s dismantlement of the
Reunion Center for Separated Families at Mount Geumgang
< Statement (February 13, Unification Spokesperson)
>
o The ROK government has confirmed that the North is
dismantling the Reunion Center for the Separated Families at
Mount Geumgang, a facility that conveys the aspiration of
separated families to be reunited.
o The Government
expresses deep regret over the North’s unilateral dismantlement
of a facility that was built under agreement between the two
Koreas, and sternly urges the North to immediately suspend all
such actions.
- Demolishing the reunion center is an act
against humanity that crushes the yearning of separated
families, as well as a grave infringement of our state-owned
property.
o The North’s unilateral dismantlement cannot
be justified under any pretext, and all responsibility rests
entirely with the North Korean authority.
o The
Government will consider necessary measures, including legal
action and cooperation with the international society. |
