The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Thursday denounced South Korean President Park Geun-hye for "denying all concluded agreements between the north and south and keeping escalating confrontation" between the two sides.
The South Korean authorities "seriously violate the north-south joint declarations and push the north-south ties into the worst catastrophe," said the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea in a statement carried by the official KCNA new agency.
Park has in fact dismissed and violated the declarations reached between the two sides, and ignored the historic June 15 Joint Declaration and October 4 Declaration, which "serve as the starting point and a cornerstone for the development of the north-south ties," charged the statement.
The DPRK and South Korea agreed in the two documents on a series of issues of common interests, including joint efforts to work for mutual respect and trust, easing of military tensions, arrangement for reunions of separated families and increase of cooperation in various areas.
It said the reason why the Park administration declines to implement the concluded agreements is that Seoul is pursuing "unification though absorption" of the DPRK.
During her official visit to Germany in March this year, Park made a speech in the former East German city of Dresden outlining her three-point proposal to the DPRK, namely "humanity, co-prosperity and integration."
Park's policy toward the DPRK will "meet a miserable end" much the same as the policy laid out by her predecessor Lee Myung-bak, it said.
Lee, who served from Feb. 2008 to Feb. 2013, has widely been considered a hardliner in terms of his DPRK policies compared to his predecessors.
The DPRK also warned Seoul of foreign interference and called for ending the joint military exercises between South Korea and the United States.
On the same day, a spokesman for the Policy Department of the National Defense Commission, the county's top military body, also criticized Park for her recent DPRK-related remarks at the United Nations and state council meetings.
