Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes in a bylined commentary carried in this regard: Om's remarks bring to light the south Korean authorities' evermore undisguised ambition for achieving the unification of the systems.

It goes on:

It is known well that the south Korean conservative forces have worked with bloodshot eyes to realize the daydream of achieving "unification under liberal democracy," foolishly waiting for someone's "contingency" to happen.

Mandarins of the Ministry of Unification of south Korea such as Hyon In Thaek and Om Jong Sik have taken the lead in the dangerous moves to push the inter-Korean relations to catastrophe, stoke distrust and confrontation between compatriots and ignite a war against the north.

The inter-Korean relations still remain in the mire of the worst catastrophe though they had steadily developed since the publication of the June 15 joint declaration. It has become clearer that this is attributable to the reckless acts of confrontation maniacs making desperate efforts to do harm to the north's idea and system, regarding them as a thorn in the flesh.

But, the ambition for unifying the systems desperately pursued by the conservative group is no more than a fantastic dream which would never come true even if the sky were to fall.

The DPRK will never overlook any act to do harm to its dignified and inviolable system and realize the criminal ambition for achieving the unification of the systems.
