<ROKG stance regarding sending leaflets and other items to the North>
The Government has repeatedly asked civic groups to refrain from
flying leaflets and other items to the North.
Despite the Government’s repeated requests, some groups are still
distributing leaflets and other items to the North. The Government is
concerned about the situation and again urges the groups to refrain
from such action.
The Government would also like to reiterate that there is no
scientific basis to support the North’s claim that shifts the
responsibility for the spread of COVID-19 to the scattered leaflets,
which in fact is far from the truth.
The North’s act of distorting facts and bringing up retaliatory
measures against our people is extremely inappropriate and deeply
regrettable. The Government will respond strongly and firmly to any
threats and provocations of the North.
