朝鮮致函韓國敦促結束軍事行爲

Korea's National Defense Commission has sent an open letter to South Korean officials saying Pyongyang is "determined to create an atmosphere of reconciliation and unity."

The North's official Korean Central News Agency carried the letter on Friday, which also vowed to work to "completely halt hostile military acts, realize the reunion of separated families and re-energize multi-faceted North-South cooperation and exchanges.

However, the letter called for an end to South Korea's joint military drills with the United States, while defending what it called its own "precious nuclear force for self-defense”.

Last week, the NDC sent a series of proposals urging South Korea to cancel schedule joint exercises with the U.S. Seoul dismissed the calls as deceptive propaganda exercises.朝鮮國防委員會給韓國官員發出一封公開信，稱平壤“決意創造和解與團結的氣氛”。

朝鮮官方的朝中社週五刊登了這封公開信。公開信還誓言要致力於“完全停止敵對軍事行動，實現離散家庭的團聚，並重新激勵多方面的南北合作與交流。

然而，公開信呼籲終止韓國與美國的聯合軍事演習，同時爲其所謂的“用於自衛的寶貴核力量”辯護。

上週， 朝鮮國防委員會發出了一系列提議，敦促韓國取消預定的美韓聯合演習。首爾將上述呼籲斥爲欺騙性的宣傳活動。
