Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a commentary observes in this regard:

Park's sophism and her disgusting behavior are arousing repugnance and disillusion as there is no worth making any inquiry into reason and truth.

Park groundlessly slung mud at the DPRK, talking about its "economic difficulties". This is an unpardonable insult and mockery of the compatriots in the north.

As a matter of fact, "unification" touted by Park is nothing but "unification of social systems" against the nation's will as it is aimed to undermine the dignified ideology and social system of the DPRK.

She is so brazen-faced as to tout "unification initiative" though she has such ulterior motive.

Her rhetoric about "support" for someone, "co-prosperity" and "restoration of homogeneity" would get her nowhere.

The south Korean authorities have so far checked the north-south NGO exchanges of people of various circles case by case and even sidelined even the matter for increasing wages of the workers at the Kaesong Industrial Zone even a bit. However, they are now misleading the public opinion by touting "co-prosperity" and "restoration of homogeneity". They are nothing but sheer lies and height of hypocrisy. Park's blabbering about "unification" in such embarrassing position only betrays her uneasiness and worry about crisis.

If the south Korean chief executive persistently pursues confrontation, far from drawing a lesson from her recent junket, she will be wholly to blame for the ensuing baneful impact on the north-south relations.
