SEOUL -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Wednesday that whether to hold the high-level inter-Korean talks depends on Republic of Korea, according to Seoul's Unification Ministry.
The DPRK's National Defense Commission sent a notice to South Korea's presidential national security office early Wednesday through the western military hotline, saying the South Korean government connived at the scattering of anti-DPRK leaflets by civic groups.
The DPRK's top military body said it depends on South Korea's responsible choice whether to hold on to the anti-DPRK leaflets distribution or to hold the senior-level talks. It noted that South Korea was going in the direction of thwarting the agreed- upon inter-Korean dialogue.
