Press Conference Held in Taegu

KCNA

    Taegu, August 27 (KCNA Correspondent) -- Jon Kuk Man who is leading the DPRK Student Sports Association delegation had a press conference at the Taegu Press Center on August 27. Present there were members of the DPRK Student Sports Association delegation and journalists from the north, south and foreign countries. Jon made a speech at the press conference.
    Recalling that the DPRK Student Sports Association delegation participating in the 22nd Universiad amid the concern of all Koreans who wish national reconciliation and reunification has made every sincere effort to repay the warm reception accorded by citizens in Taegu and other fellow countrymen in the south, while respecting the spirit of the Universiad, he said:
    Ultra right conservatives of south Korea, however, committed such indecent acts as defaming the DPRK's system and dignity in different places including the Taegu Press Center, challenging the sincere efforts of the north side.
    Such anti-DPRK rowdyism was an extremely grave one as it was an unpardonable provocation to the fellow countrymen in the north. But we have exercised utmost patience and self-restraint.
    Our delegation made a bold decision to continue participating in the Universiad in favor of the fellow countrymen in the south and citizens in Taegu as we value their compatriotic sincerity and respect the noble idea of the Universiad after the south Korean authorities, though belatedly, made apology in which they clearly expressed regret at what happened and made a promise to prevent its recurrence.
    We will remain true to the idea of the Universiad and conduct activities to meet the expectations of the whole Korean nation in the remaining days of the Universiad.
    It is our hope that such anti-national provocations as antagonizing the fellow countrymen and throwing a wet blanket over the desire for national reconciliation and reunification, would not occur again.
