朝鲜致函韩国敦促结束军事行为

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.

朝鲜官方的朝中社周五刊登了这封公开信。公开信还誓言要致力于“完全停止敌对军事行动，实现离散家庭的团聚，并重新激励多方面的南北合作与交流。

然而，公开信呼吁终止韩国与美国的联合军事演习，同时为其所谓的“用于自卫的宝贵核力量”辩护。

上周， 朝鲜国防委员会发出了一系列提议，敦促韩国取消预定的美韩联合演习。首尔将上述呼吁斥为欺骗性的宣传活动。
