North korea has announced its suSpending Plans for military action against the south the north state media says the decision was made during a meeting of the ruling Partys Central Military Commission chaired by. The leaders sister kim jong whos in charge of relations with the south had warned of possible military action the joint is an office was blown up last week and all official talks ended. South korea says it believes the meeting was very unusual and its paying close attention it said it would keep working to stop provocative acts from its soil those include sending propaganda leaflets over the border which prong yang has said is behind recent escalations. We saw the report from the north and we are reviewing it in a close serious way we will monitor the situation our governments stance remains the 2 koreas should edge here to the Bilateral Agreement apart from this we stressed again and will continue to sternly respond to acts such as sending anti north leaflets which creates tensions between the south and north and threatens the safety of people in the border area. Or of mcbride is covering this from seoul. We know that there does tend to be a patent to these kinds of things we do see an escalation and then a sudden deescalation and often it is north korea that is pulling the strings maybe the North Koreans have calculated that this particular escalation has run its course has served its purpose it is grabbed International Headlines it has reminded the United States of where the Korean Peninsula is it has had the effect of unnerving the South Koreans may be pushing them towards trying to find some extra measures maybe humanitarian aid the kinds of things that south korea can do despite International Sanctions but certainly South Koreans are this wednesday giving a guarded welcome to this but there is the cavity at the at the defense minister has pointed out that is this is only putting on hold of these military measures he would rather see a complete withdrawal of them we were expecting the kinds of measures being the deployment of extra forces along the d. M. Z. It would have increased tension along the border but this does seem to be on the face of it at least a genuine deescalation we know that a lot of the articles at tacking the south Korean Defector groups have been launching these provocative balloons with propaganda into north korea they have suddenly disappeared from north korean websites also these loudspeaker system that often blare propaganda across the barbed wire that in recent times as have relations have improved theyve been taken down in recent days theyre being put back up again well this wednesday we have reports that once more they again do seem to be taken down by the North Koreans. Lets bring in say one coup in stuttgart germany hes the publisher of the magazine korea expose good to have you with us 1st of all lets start of with a rather dramatic turnaround in the situation what prompted you think this meeting in north korea to deescalate and counsel what they call a military action mom i think its important for us not to organise to meet what has happened because we are seeing a pattern of escalation by in north korea that really started back in march except that due to the corona crisis perhaps we have not been paying much attention to it. So insistent he knows aung made a very strong statement condemning south korea as early as the beginning of march and there had been the series on the launches throughout that months and also in the month of april and of course we had seen the very high profile explosion at the in the Korean Liaison Office in castle which was really a symbol of improving relations between the 2 koreas and now it brings us to this mormon but which north korea claims it is displeased by their propaganda leaflets being thrown across the d. M. Z. By that this sector groups but in reality many people believe that this is just a pretext what were seeing is fundamental displeasure on the part of the north korean leadership at their level progress in that the nuclearization process which for them really implies lifting up sanctions in improving or Economic Conditions so ultimately whats going on here is a show of deferred dissatisfaction not just or maybe not even with south korea is it more about the north korean the u. S. Track. Its about the u. S. And its loss of us south korea because south korea was very much for player in bringing about this process in the 1st place following the election of president mundine in 2070 and south korea certainly has made many promises that things would get better for north korea there had been high profile its summits that had been the very important meeting between the notrump and kim jong il but what has north korea really seen in terms of economic improvement they have certainly been the escalation on the military level but there has not been the reopening up yes on Industrial Complex that has been no always on show of the Tourism Initiative in mountain there has not been anything that we could see as chen general improvement from north korea and certainly south korea has shown that despite all its promises it cannot actually do much in violation of International Sanctions and also with their support of the u. S. And thats where north korea its ignored that its really had they not with this whole process does south korea have much cards to play of impact of of importance to north korea without a resolution to the wider issue of sanctions. Well and that is perhaps the crux of them that president jane announced on june 15th dead she would try and bring about her korean economic initiatives regardless of what the Internet Community might have said but its easier to say then done and this is something that we have certainly heard from the blue out the for in fact what many analysts are calling for is for south korea to assume a hard line against north korea because if south korea does not show it will that north koreas failure to abide by the various accords and agreements that have been signed the last 2 years we really lead to tens of all consequences for kim zone and then north korea will probably feel even freer to engage in more aggressive measures and also in turning to other potential partners in this your political process namely china and russia are good to get your thoughts on that thanks so much so when who india is announcing its expelling hough of the stuff in Pakistans High Commission in new delhi because of spying pakistan quickly rejected the allegations as baseless and demanded a similar reduction in indian staff and diplomats in the slam about cmon haida has more from the capital.
