Ministry of Unification "Regret over North Korea's Plan to Distribute Leaflets to South Korea... Demand to Halt the Plan"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] As North Korea announced plans to distribute leaflets south of the Demilitarized Zone, the government immediately demanded a halt to the action.

The Ministry of Unification stated on the 20th, "It is very regrettable that North Korea revealed plans to distribute a large-scale smear leaflet campaign against the South through media today," and "We demand an immediate stop."

The Ministry of Unification added, "Such actions by North Korea are a clear violation of inter-Korean agreements," and "They are measures that worsen, rather than resolve, the bad practices between the two Koreas."

The Ministry also reiterated its strong stance against some civilian groups' leaflet and goods distribution activities toward North Korea. It explained that the government, police, and local governments in border areas are cooperating to crack down and completely block all distribution activities.

Earlier, North Korea's Korean Central News Agency reported, "North Korea is actively preparing for a large-scale leaflet distribution campaign against the South."
