The south Korean authorities' persistent moves for escalating the confrontation with the compatriots in the north are a basic factor of hamstringing the efforts to mend the inter-Korean relations, the article says, and goes on:

They remain unchanged in their bad habit of standing in confrontation even after the north-south high-level urgent contact took place.

Their behavior makes the DPRK suspect whether they want dialogue, cooperation and improved relations between the north and the south or not.

"Unification of social systems" is the final goal of their "policy toward the north" and confrontational racket as they are seized by inveterate repugnancy toward the fellow countrymen in the north and hostility.

They have never given up their attempt to hurt the dignified social system of the DPRK.

It is due to this wrong attitude and reckless confrontation of the south Korean authorities that the hard-won atmosphere of improving the inter-Korean relations is being chilled and tension is increasing on the Korean Peninsula.

They should drop their daggers hidden behind their belts and opt for defusing tension and improving inter-Korean relations.

If the south Korean ruling forces scupper the opportunity of improving inter-Korean relations, they will always stand cursed by all Koreans.
