South Korea asks North Korea to “end provocations” and respond to its economic offer

Oct. 11 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Government of South Korea has asked the North Korean authorities on Tuesday to “end the provocations” in nuclear matters and respond as soon as possible to their offer of economic aid in exchange for proceeding with the denuclearization of the Crimean peninsula.

The words of the South Korean authorities come after Pyongyang claimed to have concluded a series of “tactical nuclear” maneuvers and threatened to strengthen its nuclear capacity.

“The government urges North Korea once again to put an end to these acts and respond to the bold initiative,” said a senior official from the South Korean Unification Ministry, who referred to President Yoon Suk’s proposal. Yeol, to help rebuild the country’s economy in exchange for steps to pave the way for denuclearization.

In this sense, he pointed out that the South Korean government considers it “very serious” that North Korea continues with nuclear exercises after the adoption of a law that describes the country as a nuclear state, as reported by the Yonhap news agency.

“The government keeps its sights set on North Korea and has condemned the carrying out of ballistic tests on its part, which are a clear violation of the resolutions of the UN Security Council,” he asserted.

This same Tuesday, Yoon has insisted that North Korea “has nothing to gain from nuclear weapons.” “North Korea is developing nuclear weapons and it will threaten not only South Korea but the entire world,” she lamented.

In this sense, he has clarified that Seoul is “prepared to respond” together with the United States and, ultimately, Japan. Therefore, he has stressed that the population “does not have to worry.” “The denuclearization of North Korea has been sought for 30 years, linking it to our own denuclearization,” she insisted.

The United States introduced tactical nuclear weapons to South Korea in the late 1950s, but withdrew them in the early 1990s following a disarmament agreement with the former Soviet Union and attempts at reconciliation by the two Koreas.
