Park also addressed a joint session of the US Congress on Wednesday, stressing
that North Korea had to give up its nuclear weapons while also proposing
small peace steps after months of sky-high tensions.
But the spokesman for the North’s Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of
Korea, dismissed the visit as a “junket” and a “despicable sycophantic trip
to please her master … and tighten the nexus against” North Korea.
Park’s “arrogant” remarks would only escalate inter-Korean tensions, he said,
adding that the presidential summit was a “curtain-raiser” for an eventual
invasion of North Korea.
The spokesman did not comment on Park’s proposal for an international peace
park inside the Demilitarised Zone that separates the two Koreas.
The North, angered by UN sanctions sparked by its nuclear test in February and
joint South-US military drills, has stoked tensions for months with
blistering threats of nuclear war against Seoul and Washington.
But friction has appeared to ebb in the past week, with a US defence official
saying that North Korea has moved two medium-range missiles off their launch
sites.
