[imText1]\u201cOnly after improving inter-Korean relations will the Six-Party Talks be resumed,\u201d according to Hyun In Taek, South Korea\u2019s Minister of Unification.<\/p>\n
Minister Hyun revealed the administration\u2019s stance during his opening remarks at a symposium on Korea and Japan held by the Institute for Far Eastern Studies, the Korea Peace Institute and Seigakuin University General Research Institute today. <\/p>\n
\u201cNorth Korea is proposing to set aside the Cheonan incident and carry on with the Six-Party Talks. But inter-Korean relations are the main pillar of the Six-Party Talks. Without improved inter-Korean relations, there will not any progress in the Six-Party Talks,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
On the other hand, Hyun expressed strongly the position that once North Korea\u2019s apology for the Cheonan incident is clear, the Six-Party Talks will be feasible, while regarding aid, he said that the administration will continue to offer humanitarian aid to North Korea. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe made the decision to send aid, and in the future we will continue to solve humanitarian matters not from a political standpoint but from a humanitarian one. North Korea should also look at the regularization of separated family reunions from the humanitarian aspect.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cNormal, sound inter-Korean relations are all up to North Korea,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
