SEOUL Cheap Isaac Ratcliffe Jersey , Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- South Korea's top policymaker in charge of inter-Korean relations said Monday that he has offered to hold a dialogue in January next year with the Democratic People 's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on issues of mutual concern.
"The Preparatory Committee for Reunification officially proposed to the North (DPRK) holding talks about issues of mutual concern in January next year," Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae told a surprise press briefing.
Ryoo serves as one of vice chairmen of the committee, launched earlier this year, along with Chung Chong-wook, former South Korean ambassador to China. The committee's inaugural session was chaired in August by President Park Geun-hye to draw up a blueprint for reunification with the DPRK.
Ryoo said South Korea has sent a notice for the dialogue offer Cheap Morgan Frost Jersey , expressing hopes for the DPRK to actively respond to the proposal. The notice was sent to Kim Yang Gon, director of the DPRK's United Front Department in charge of Seoul-Pyongyang relations, under the name of Ryoo and Chung.
In June last year, Seoul sought to send Ryoo as chief negotiator for inter-Korean dialogue, but the DPRK denounced it Cheap Cole Bardreau Jersey , saying Ryoo was low in his official ranking compared with Kim, secretary of the Central Committee of Workers' Party of Korea.
The proposed talks can be held in Seoul, Pyongyang or other places convenient for both sides, Ryoo said, noting that he hopes to meet with the North side to relieve the sorrow of families Cheap Andrew MacDonald Jersey , separated by the 1950-53 Korean War, before the Lunar New Year's holiday that falls in late February.
President Park has called the reunion of separated families as "urgent and important" in inter-Korean relations as time is running out due to their old age. Millions of Koreans have been separated since the three-year war ended in armistice in 1953.
Around 22,000 Koreans met their long-lost relatives through 19 rounds of family reunions from 1985 to 2014, but more than 70,000 South Koreans have been on the waiting list for reunion since 1988 Cheap Anthony Stolarz Jersey , with all applicants likely to pass away within 20 years for the old age. The latest round of family reunion was held in late February.
Asked about whether to discuss the May 24 sanctions and the resumption of tour to Mount Kumgang, Ryoo said that issues of mutual concern will be "all" discussed if the proposed dialogue is held.
The DPRK has demanded the lifting of the May 24 sanctions, imposed by South Korea in 2010 when the South Korean Navy corvette Cheonan sank in waters near the disputed western sea border. The sanctions have banned all inter-Korean exchanges except for the joint factory park in the DPRK's border town of Kaesong.
South Korea has insisted that the Cheonan warship sinking, which killed 46 soldiers, was caused by the DPRK's torpedo attack Cheap Colin McDonald Jersey , but Pyongyang repeatedly denied its involvement.
Pyongyang has also called for resuming tours to the scenic Mount Kumgang resort in the DPRK's southeast coast. The tour, launched in 1998, was halted in July 2008 when a South Korean female tourist was shot dead by a DPRK soldier after venturing into an off-limit area.
Meanwhile, Ryoo said high-level inter-Korean contacts would be held separately from the proposed dialogue if the DPRK accepts it, suggesting a two-track approach to talks with Pyongyang.
In February this year Cheap Dustin Tokarski Jersey , a senior-level contact was held between South Korea and the DPRK.
In October, the DPRK agreed to the second high-level contact during a surprise visit of three senior DPRK officials to South Korea for the closing ceremony of the Incheon Asian Games, but it failed as South Korea's civic groups floated anti-DPRK leaflets via balloons despite Pyongyang's repeated opposition. Seoul has stuck to its position that the government has no legal ground to intervene in activities for "freedom of expression."
