[imText1]On the 28th, the Chosun Sinbo, a pro-North Korean newspaper based in Japan reported that North Korea’s representative participating in the 20th South-North High Level Cabinet Talks had said “If we place foreign aid before our nation’s advantages, our brethren will be disappointed (in us).”
The newspaper continued to report that the North’s delegate Kwon Ho Woong commented, “Throughout history, never has there been a time the Korean Peninsula has profited from foreign power influencing our national issues.”
“Without a doubt, foreign power has already created an opportunity to meddle in our national issues with a negotiation which states that humanitarian aid may be provided to the North in accordance with the freezing of Yongbyun nuclear facilities” Kwon warned.
The North strongly urged that the recent talks does not become manipulated by foreign pressures in making negotiations, by using issues such as humanitarian cooperation and separated families.
The Chosun Sinbo commented that it was now time to transfer talk of eradicating evil laws such as the “National Security Law’ into action.
Furthermore, the newspaper stated that the North had taken measures to propose that all strategic schemes and law obstructing the two nations would be obliterated in the first half the year.
