Recall that recently there has been a sharp deterioration in inter-Korean relations. Pyongyang accused Seoul of reneging on agreements and the direction of propaganda leaflets to the DPRK. Despite the quick response of the government of the South and steps to curb the activities of activists sending leaflets, the North went on whipping up tensions.
over the last few days to the South followed one after another, some threatening statements, many of which were made on behalf of younger sister of DPRK leader Kim Jong-UN Kim-Jeong. Yesterday, the DPRK defiantly blew up the building of inter-Korean liaison office in Kaesong, today announced the intention to send troops and weapons in Kaesong, MT. and other border areas. In this case the North in the text of the new applications used some very harsh language personally to the address of the RK President moon Jae-In, prompting the South to respond harshly to northerners.
the Minister of unification of South Korea, Kim Yong Chol is one of the key figures of the team, which, together with moon Jae-Otherwise tried to cooperate with North Korea. The post of Minister of unification, Kim was appointed in April last year.
