SEOUL (AP): North Korea on Saturday (June 13) again bashed South Korea, telling its rival to stop 'nonsensical” talk about its denuclearization and vowing to expand its military capabilities.
South Korean pro-unification protesters shout slogans during a demonstration in celebrations to mark the 20th anniversary of the historic June 2000 inter-Korean summit and joint peace declaration between South Korea's President Kim Dae-jung and North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Il, in Seoul on Saturday .
The government of South Korean President Moon Jae-in had lobbied hard to set up nuclear summits between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump, who have met three times since 2018.But North Korea in recent months has suspended virtually all cooperation with the South while expressing frustration over the lack of progress in its nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration.
Seoul’s Foreign Ministry was reacting to a separate North Korean statement late Friday that said the North’s confidence with the South’s government was completely"shattered” and that"regretful and painful times” were ahead for its rival. "We are not what we were two years ago. The change continues and will continue as ever in a tremendous way. It is better to stop a nonsensical talking about denuclearization.”
