Korea Urges DPRK To Act In Response To Introduced Dialogue :
South Korea on Tuesday urged the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) to give a positive response to Seoul’s earlier dialogue overtures on which Pyongyang has been mum.
“We believe it is necessary to resume inter-Korean cooperation to solve humanitarian issues and ease military tensions,’’ Seoul’s unification ministry said.
The ministry urged the DPRK to respond to Seoul’s dialogue offers, vowing multilateral efforts to ease military tensions and solve urgent humanitarian issues including the reunion of separated families.
The Moon Jae-in government, which was inaugurated on May 10, proposed to hold talks on military affairs with the DPRK on July 21 at the truce village of Panmumjom.
It was aimed at stopping all hostile acts near the Military Demarcation Line (MDL).
The Moon administration also suggested Red Cross talks with the DPRK are held on Aug. 1, but Pyongyang has been mum about both dialogue proposals.
The Red Cross dialogue offer was designed to discuss humanitarian issues, including the reunion of families of the two sides who have been separated since the 1950 to 1953 Korean War ended in armistice, not a peace treaty.
The Korean Peninsula is technically in a state of war as the three-year fratricidal war ended with ceasefire.
DPRK, however, test-fired a ballistic missile of intercontinental ranges on Friday, thereby, escalating military tensions on the peninsula.
