S. Korean authorities hit for slinging mud at north's system

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- The South Korean authorities' mud-slinging at the system in the north is a malignant provocation and insult to the north and an act of seriously bedevilling the inter-Korean relations. The committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland says this in a statement on Monday, demanding them apologize for this. The statement continued:
    The South Korean authorities were so impudent as to slander the system in the north, asserting that it is an "old system" and "untrustworthy partner". They went to the lengths of making insolent remarks that there should be a distinction between the system and residents".
    Their mud-slinging at the political system in the north is a grave violation of the inter-Korean agreement.
    The present South Korean authorities have no right to violate such historical agreements as the July 4 Joint Statement, the north-south basic agreement early in the 1990s and the June 15 Joint Declaration which commit the two sides to mutually recognizing and respecting the existing two systems and promise their co-existence. They only have the responsibility and duty to implement them.
    The negation of the system will bring the inter-Korean relations back to those in the Cold War era when the two systems were in confrontation and, in the long run, impose only disasters upon the nation. The South Korean authorities looked frightful when the north side rightly stated that the escalated confrontation would put the inter-Korean relations at the lowest ebb and disasters would be unavoidable. So, they must have known that their mud-slinging at the system in the north would bring about greater disasters.
    When looking back on the history, South Korea's acts of negating the system in the north and seeking anti-north confrontation have always been condemned by the nation.
    The north has never tolerated the acts of impairing its system and imposing confrontation on it and this stand will remain unchanged in the future.
    The South Korean authorities should clearly understand that their mud-slinging at the system in the north will never do them good. They should apologize for their misconduct in any form and by any method and vouch that they will not repeat such act.
    The north will watch the future attitude of the South Korean authorities for the sake of improved inter-Korean relations and the reunification of the country.
