China calls for dialogue reentablar two Koreas

.- China on Thursday made an appeal to the two Koreas to put aside their differences and resume dialogue, brutally interrupted on Wednesday by North Korea, which was not considered necessary to continue talks with the South. "We hope the two parties may continue the dialogue and contacts, meet halfway and work together to play a constructive role in improving relations and safeguard peace and stability on the peninsula," Korea, said Thursday a spokesman for the ministry Chinese Foreign Zhaoxu Ma.

This failure is a "missed opportunity" for North Korea to demonstrate the sincerity to improve relations with Seoul, had said on Wednesday the U.S. State Department. The talks started on Tuesday, the first between military officials of both countries since the bombing of a South Korean island Pyongyang on Nov.

23 that left four dead, abruptly ended on Wednesday without agreement. This appointment should set a date, place and agenda of a meeting at the highest level, in principle, the two defense ministers. The Northern delegation left the table for discussion after refusing to apologize for two serious incidents in 2010: the November bombing and torpedoing of a corvette South Korea in March (46 deaths), attributed by an international investigation to Pyongyang, which denies.

North Korea believes that these discussions should not focus on these incidents, but to evoke, more generally, how to avoid provocative actions by both parties. "As has become clear that the traitors do not want an improvement in relations between North and South and want to avoid dialogue, our army and our people no longer feel the need to keep talking to them," according a statement released by the agency Pyongyang's official.

As traitors indicate, among others, the South Korean Ministry of Defense and Unification. Despite Pyongyang's statements, analysts estimate that the talks could resume. "The disingenuous North and South need to be more flexible," said Yang Moo-Jin of the University of Seoul of North Korean Studies.

The two Koreas, he said, "will certainly return to the negotiating table because they have an obligation to talk. United States and China also want to." However, Pyongyang will never accept to assume the responsibility of the torpedoing of the cruiser South Korea last March, says Kim Yeon-Chul of Inje University in Gimhae.
