[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] The French government has urged North Korea to cease acts that escalate tensions and run counter to the process of establishing peace on the Korean Peninsula.


On the 16th (local time), the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a spokesperson's comment that North Korea's destruction of the Kaesong Inter-Korean Joint Liaison Office is "a move that goes against efforts to restore lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula."


The Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanded that North Korea "immediately stop acts that escalate tensions and sincerely resume dialogue."



The French daily Le Monde assessed that North Korea's series of actions, including the demolition of the Inter-Korean Joint Liaison Office, are "deliberately calculated measures to escalate tensions and a signal that the two-year d?tente phase has ended."
