Actions against Lee Myung Bak's Moves for Confrontation with North Staged

Pyongyang, June 19 (KCNA) -- At least 10 civic and public organizations of south Korea held the 141st action for independence, reunification and peace before the U.S. embassy in Seoul on June 14. They condemned the Lee Myung Bak group for its moves for confrontation with the DPRK. They included the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration, the People for Achieving Peace and Reunification and the Confederation of Trade Unions.

A resolution said the disclosure of the authorities' base act behind the secret north-south contact has been recently disclosed, increasing public voices critical of them.

The Lee Myung Bak regime pushed the inter-Korean relations to a standstill by blaming the "Cheonan" warship case on the "north's deed". It was astonishing that he asked for the "summit" while making some compromising proposal, the resolution said.

It is difficult to improve the inter-Korean relations as long as the present regime continues pursuing the confrontation policy against fellow countrymen, it added.

If the Lee regime has a true willingness for the "summit", it should abandon the confrontation policy, first of all, and come up for dialogue with the north, it stressed.
