Joint inter-Korean event canceled
2004-02-19
North Korea has canceled what was to be the first civilian inter-Korean event of the year, South Korean organizers said on Wednesday (Feb. 18).
The North's National Reconciliation Council did not mention plans for the March 1 event in the message it sent Friday, meaning it did not intend to mark the date in a joint manner, according to organizers.
Last year, civilian representatives of the two sides jointly commemorated the day in 1919 when Koreans declared independence from Japanese colonial rule and began protests nationwide.
