Rodong Sinmun Thursday observes in a by-lined commentary in this regard:

It is ridiculous for traitor Hyon In Thaek to pull up the DPRK this or that way, instead of making an apology to the nation for the crimes he has committed against it so far.

It was Hyon who conceived "no nukes, opening and 3000 dollars", an anti-reunification policy of confrontation pursued by the Lee regime, before taking his present office, deteriorating the inter-Korean relations.

The "venue of responsible south-north dialogue" touted by him is nothing but a theater of north-south confrontation.

A little over three years of office of the Lee group failed to witness any dialogue for national reconciliation, unity and reunification.

The conservative group has abused the dialogue as a lever for covering up its anti-reunification intention while busying itself with a smear campaign against the DPRK.

Such sinister aim is lurking behind Hyon's loud-mouthed "responsible south-north dialogue." It was quite natural that the DPRK National Defence Commission declared it would not deal with the group of traitors any longer.

His desperate effort to shift the blame for the collapse of the inter-Korean relations onto others would bring him nowhere.
