The regular publication of the General Association of North Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) and an unofficial conduit of North Korean policy, Choson Sinbo reported on President Park Geun Hye\u2019s inauguration speech on the 4th, declaring, \u201c[We are] unable to hide our rage at the way Park emphasized the \u2018abandonment of nuclear weapons\u2019 and \u2018change\u2019 without a single syllable about implementing North-South agreements.\u201d<\/p>\n
The statement came in a piece entitled, \u2018New South Chosun Regime Disappointing from Start\u2019.<\/p>\n
In her speech on February 25th, Park had stated, \u201cTrust can be built up by dialogue and by keeping our promises. I hope that North Korea can abide by international rules and make the right choices, so that the \u2018Korean Peninsula trust process\u2019 can move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Park also said; \u201cWe will not accept any action that threatens the lives of the people and the security of the Republic of Korea. The recent nuclear test presents a challenge to the survival of our people and their future, and [North Korea] must clearly acknowledge that the biggest loser here is none other than North Korea itself.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Choson Sinbo slammed the comments, saying, \u201cSouth Korea\u2019s North Korea policy cannot look the nature of the acute situation on the Korean Peninsula in the eye, and this is plainly evident in the way they say the ROK-U.S. joint military exercises \u2018Key Resolve\u2019-\u2018Foal Eagle\u2019 are annual while raising their passion for practicing the joint invasion of the North.\u201d <\/p>\n
Choson Sinbo also said on the 27th of last month, \u201cIf they distort the essence of the Chosun Peninsula nuclear issue to make it a prerequisite for dialogue and contact between South and North then they will not be able to create anything. This is the lesson of the previous administration,\u201d adding, \u201cThe new regime head should not follow in the footsteps of her predecessor, who was labeled a \u2018failed president\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
