As ROK election looms, Pyongyang calls for renewed inter-Korean cooperation

Attacking the former President Park Geun-hye’s inter-Korean policies as “pro-American” and too dependent on Washington, the editorial in the Rodong Sinmun demanded Seoul put an end to the ongoing ROK-U.S. joint military exercises in order to see "peace" with Pyongyang.
