Outcries of senior official of Chongwadae rebuffed
KCNA
Pyongyang, May 23 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the National Democratic Front of South Korea (NDFSK) issued a statement on May 20, denouncing the "national defence advisor of Chongwadae" for letting loose a string of balderdash that the "residents of the north should be distinguished from its system in accepting the northerners as part of the nation" and a "different consideration should be made of cooperation with the system of the north unlike the cooperation with its residents."
The statement said that the NDFSK bitterly denounces such remarks of the "national defence advisor", branding them as a wanton violation of the June 15 Joint Declaration and a serious declaration of confrontation with the north.
What should not be overlooked is the fact that his remarks came right after the pro-U.S. and flunckeyist U.S. trip of the chief executive of South Korea, the statement said, and went on:
When people of different social strata on this land are disappointed and angered by the pro-U.S. behaviour of the chief executive, the "national defence advisor" took issue with the system in the north. This is a mud-slinging at the "people's government" which produced the June 15 Joint Declaration with the north. It is nothing but a clear expression of the south's intention to pursue a hostile policy toward the north and confrontation with it.
It is an act devoid of elementary morality and national etiquette to talk about any dialogue, contact, reconciliation and cooperation while defiling the system and dignity of the dialogue partner by siding with the u.s. keen to stifle the Koreans in the north.
The South Korean authorities should immediately retract the remarks of the "national defence advisor" inciting fresh confrontation with the north, apologize to the north for them and dismiss him at once.
