the Message on the termination of work of channels passed today, the Central Telegraph Agency of Korea (KCNA). “Our side is at 12 o’clock 9 Jun 2020 will completely cut off and shut off a line of communication between the authorities North and South Korea, which was supported through constant the inter-Korean liaison office, including communication lines between the military of the North and South in the Eastern and Western seas, as well as a hotline between the headquarters of the workers’ party of Korea and the presidential administration of South Korea, Cheong WA Dae,” reads the KCNA.
the News Agency notes that the decision was taken during meeting with participation of Deputy Chairman of the Central Committee of the workers ‘ party of Korea Kim Yong-Chul and the 1st Deputy head of the Department of the Central Committee of the WPK Kim Jeong. Last, recall, is also the younger sister of DPRK leader Kim Jong-UN and has recently made a statement, which harshly criticized the South Korean authorities. According to Kim, the Seoul is to blame, that does not prohibit anti-North Korean activists, many of whom are defectors from North Korea, run to North Korea balloons with leaflets critical of the contents of the Kim Jong UN regime and North Korea.
the meeting stressed that “working with the South” becomes “fight the enemy”. The KCNA also noted that the termination of the communication line is only the first step, after which may follow the new actions of the North against the South.
the Official reaction of Seoul as yet, but it is clear that this has been a great disappointment to the government of the Republic of Korea led by President moon Jae Otherwise. This situation has become perhaps the largest crisis in inter-Korean relations over the past three years. Moon made a big bet on the development of cooperation with the North, three times personally met with Kim Jong-UN, traveled to Pyongyang. After the first critical statements of the North concerning leaflets in the government of the South said that they are preparing a law that will be the basis for blocking the activities of those who send leaflets. In addition, just recently the police did not allow activists to implement the new getting out leaflets and Bibles to the DPRK. But, apparently, it did not impress on Pyongyang.
In South Korea also fear that the North will declare the termination of all agreements with the South and return to the tactics of tension and military provocations on the inter-Korean border. On the other hand, it is possible that in this way the North is pushing South for more active inter-Korean cooperation and the abandonment of the policy of following in the footsteps of the United States against the DPRK, which is based on the continuation of the sanctions and other pressure Washington to Pyongyang.
