정부, 9.19 평양공동선언 1주념 기념행사 개최... 북한엔 통보X

South Korea is planning to hold an event next month to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the inter-Korean summit held in Pyeongyang last year.
But Seoul hasn't notified Pyeongyang of its plan and is organizing the event alone.
Seoul's unification ministry said this was because there was still plenty of time left and that North Korea's recent attitude hasn't helped.
Pyeongyang has continuously condemned Seoul for carrying out a joint military exercise with the U.S. and introducing new military assets.
The government said it's holding the event to show the North its willingness to implement last year's joint declaration, expressing hopes that Pyeongyang would respond positively and take part.
