NORTH Korea threatened yesterday to release conversations recorded during secret inter-Korean talks last month that it said show Seoul negotiators begging for high-level summits and offering bribes.
North Korea said last week the two Koreas met in Beijing on May 9 to discuss possible talks between the two countries' leaders at the request of South Korea. North Korea said the preparatory talks collapsed because South Korea broke a promise and raised the issue of two deadly attacks last year blamed on Pyongyang.
During the May 9 talks, three South Korean negotiators begged for the summits and even offered "envelopes of cash," according to North Korea's National Defense Commission.
South Korea's Unification Ministry said yesterday that it met North Korean officials only to press for an apology for the attacks. South Korea has said North Korea distorted what happened during the meeting.
Earlier yesterday, a North Korean negotiator, who was not identified, said his country would disclose a recorded conversation made during the talks and provide more details from the meeting if Seoul doesn't acknowledge what happened.
South Korean negotiators were "embarrassingly unmanly" when they begged North Korea to at least express regret over last year's attacks, the negotiator said in comments carried by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency.
"Please make a concession," the North Korean quoted South Korean negotiators as saying.
