Traitor Lee said the "door to an opportunity" is opened and "it is necessary to remove bilateral mistrust" while visiting other countries to "win their joint efforts for ensuring stability and peace" on the Korean Peninsula from the outset of the year.

His remarks tell as if he is interested in improvement of the inter-Korean relations and dialogue with the DPRK.

Referring to this fact, the statement said that the Lee group orchestrated the provocative warship sinking and Yonphyong Island shelling incidents to bring the north-south relations to collapse.

The group committed high treason by rubbing salt into the wounds of fellow countrymen in bitter grief at the untimely passing of the father of the nation and insulting the dignity of the DPRK and disallowing condolatory visits to Pyongyang by south Koreans of different social strata, it pointed out.

On the contrary to its calling for "dialogue", the group has massively introduced nuclear war weaponry from the U.S. and ceaselessly staged anti-DPRK war drills aimed in collusion with outside forces, the statement said, adding this fully reveals its foul double-dealing nature.

The statement further said:

With surging indignation of the nation, the General Association and all Korean residents in China bitterly condemn the reckless moves of the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors misleading the public opinion at home and abroad to persist on its policy of confrontation with the DPRK.

The group must apologize to the entire nation for the high treason committed during the mourning over the great loss to the nation before calling for "dialogue" with reluctance.

All Koreans should continue to the last the struggle to drive out the group from the arena of history.
