The statement accused Hyon In Thaek, minister of "Unification", and other anti-reunification elements of south Korea of preventing the inter-Korean relations from being developed, while crying out for the "solution of nuclear issue".

The reality goes to prove that the true nature of such separatists and confrontational elements as Hyon In Thaek will never change and that the inter-Korean relations can never be improved as long as Hyon is allowed to hold the ministerial post, the statement noted.

Overseas compatriots aspiring after the independent reunification and the development of the inter-Korean relations have strongly condemned the treacherous, anti-reunification and confrontational moves on the part of the gentries of the "Ministry of Unification", the statement said, calling for eliminating them at an early date for reunification and for the sake of the nation.
