□ Today’s announcement made by the spokesperson of National Defense Commission via Korean Central News Agency is a unilateral claim distorting our sincerity and not worthy to respond. We deeply regret for the fact that North Korea’s move does not contribute to improve the inter-Korean relations.
□ Our consistent stance is that the North should show its responsibility for the Cheonan Corvette sinking and the artillery attack on Yeonpyeong Island. We urge North Korea to demonstrate its responsibility and come to the negotiation table.
