Scheme for Conclusion of FTA Protested in S. Korea
Pyongyang, February 14 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Democratic Labor Party of south Korea issued a commentary on Feb. 10 criticizing the authorities for their humiliating move for conclusion of "Free Trade Agreement".

That day the U.S. and the south Korean authorities finally signed the three agreements on the results of the additional negotiations for the conclusion of FTA on which they reached an agreement in December last year, the commentary said, adding: This is a humiliating action unprecedented in history and a declaration of war against the people.

It is an illegal act that the authorities inked the agreements without ratification of the "National Assembly" on the results of the additional negotiations, it charged.

The agreements, consistent with unilateral concession and humiliation to the U.S., should be abrogated at once, the commentary held.

It demanded that the authorities promptly stop the attempt to sell off the south Korean economy to the U.S., lock, stock and barrel, in disregard of the people's view.
