Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a commentary terms her utterances a revelation of anachronistic ambition for "achieving unification through absorption" and a politically-motivated provocation against the dialogue partner.

No matter what rhetoric she may let loose, it will only lay bare the despicable true colors as a wicked trickster engrossed in hatching plots and telling lies, the paper notes, and goes on:

The reunification of Korea has not been achieved not due to the lack of support from someone but due to the confrontation hysteria of the south Korean authorities as they are getting frantic with war moves and smear campaign against the compatriots in the north.

The inter-Korean relations are deteriorating hour by hour. So, now is the time for the north and the south to be careful about words and deeds.

There are not a few examples in the history of complicated inter-Korean relations in which hard-won opportunity of improving the relations was scuppered due to the reckless confrontation racket.

If the south Korean authorities persist in the anti-DPRK confrontation, the north-south agreement reached with much effort will be reduced to a dead paper overnight and the inter-Korean relations will again undergo a vicious cycle of serious catastrophe.

The chief executive of south Korea had better behave herself, bearing in mind that the inter-Korean relations are now at crucial crossroads.
