| Norks Warn South to Respect Late Leader | |
| 2011-12-24 | |
In a statement carried on the North's official website, Pyongyang warned Seoul that the decision could have a considerable impact on North-South relations. The North has said it will open its border to any delegation from the South that wants to express condolences. But South Korea has said it will allow only two groups to visit -- the families of former President Kim Dae-Jung and former Hyundai Group chairman Chung Mong-hun. North Korea proclaimed the beginning of the Kim Jong-un era Thursday, describing the son of Kim Jong-il as the "successor" of the nation's revolutionary undertakings "and leader of its people." An editorial in North Korea's official newspaper Rodong Sinmun said Kim Jong-un should move forward on a path of self-reliance, while continuing the teachings of Kim Jong-il, whose death was announced this week. The paper urged the nation to rally behind the young leader and faithfully uphold his leadership. | |
