Seoul (Reuters). Continued tensions between North and South Korea intensify. North Korea has also turned down South Korea’s proposal to send a special ambassador on their behalf, seeking to end the dispute and tension. North Korea has escalated tensions by talking of increasing the deployment of army personnel along the border. Not only this, North Korea has also destroyed the joint division office built in Kensong Industrial Complex.
Reuters quoted KCNA as saying that the office was built in the year 2018, which was blown up a day earlier. The office was built following the agreement and agreement between the top leaders of the two countries. According to the agency, any move like cancellation of peace agreements between the two countries will be helpful to shock the efforts of South Korean President Moon Jae-in that are being done on their behalf. Not only this, it will also make the efforts of American President Donald Trump difficult.
Significantly, South Korea on Monday offered to send its National Security Advisor Chugh Oui Yong and Intelligence Chief Soo Hoon as Special Ambassadors to North Korea. But it took no time for his proposal to be rejected by Kim Yo Jong, sister of the North Korean chief. He turned down the proposal, saying that it was impractical and frightening. He himself has strongly criticized the South Korean President Moon. They say that Moon has failed to implement the agreements signed between the two countries in the year 2018. He has only served to flatter America.
On the other hand, a statement issued by the South Korean President’s office, Blue House, has criticized Moon as wrong and foolish. In this statement, it has been said that such a statement has done away with the trust built between the two countries. This statement also said that South Korea is not going to tolerate such unwarranted and unnecessary statements. However, the Blue House spokesperson refused to explain its meaning in detail.
Criticizing South Korea on behalf of KCNA, it has been said that the current tension is only a result of South Korea’s failure and carelessness. Therefore, it can be eliminated only by paying a fair price. The North Korean government mouthpiece Rodong Sinmun has also published photographs before and after the destruction of the licensing office, confirming that it has now been destroyed. In this article South Korea has been severely criticized.
On Wednesday, the North Korean army spokesman said that additional troops had been dispatched to the border near Mount Kumgang and Kesong. Work is going on here on a joint economic project between the two countries. The spokesperson has also said that the police posts which were earlier removed from the demilitarized zone have been re-established there. Apart from this, the Artillery Unit of the Army has also been deployed at places where protests against North Korea are being held continuously.
Let me tell you that South Korea worked hard to start North Korea’s talks with the US. The talks between these two leaders began for the first time in 2018, following the heated rhetoric between the two countries during the year 2017. However, the meetings during this period did not yield any results and both leaders were adamant on their demands. Despite this, there was considerable relief from tensions from South Korea, including North Korea and the US.

On Monday, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Inter Korean Summit, the speech said that negotiations with the US and South Korea did not yield the expected results. It also appealed that North Korea keep the doors of peace and dialogue open. During this time, former Nuclear Ambassador of South Korea Chun Yung-woo said that the heads of both the countries had put a lot of false hopes from these peace talks. There was a hope in this that due to American pressure both countries would be able to take the relationship forward. But now that two years have passed since the talks with America, nothing has happened.
