Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says in an article in this regard:

Cooperation with outside forces is intolerable.

It is none other than outside forces that have prevented the Korean nation from being reunified and forced it to suffer from national division century after century.

To rely on outside forces to settle the issue of Korea's reunification, an issue of taking back the sovereignty from them, is as foolish an act as putting the noose of subjugation around one's own neck.

One will be deserted by the nation and can never evade the heavy punishment by history if he or she cooperates with and relies on outside forces, keeping oneself away from one's nation.

Cooperation with outside forces will bring a war and ruin to the nation.

Inter-Korean relations can not improve as long as the south Korean authorities do not take the stand of national independence and patriotism to improve the relations and reunify the country, but persist in cooperation with outside forces in putting political and military pressure on the fellow countrymen in the DPRK.

It is advisable that they should stop their anachronistic cooperation with outside forces in pressuring the DPRK, bearing in mind that the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK is a prime cause of tense situation on the Korean Peninsula.
