 News Current tensions making North Korea reluctant to accept food aid from South: MOURejection of help from Seoul likely an expression of Pyongyang's "discontent," unification ministry official tells media  A deadlock in inter-Korean relations and broader diplomatic tensions may be to blame for North Korea's continued disinterest in accepting food aid from the South Korean government, a senior official at the South Korean Ministry of Unification (MOU) said Wednesday. Speaking at a briefing with media, the official, who wished to remain anonymous, said the South Korea government was still trying to confirm the North's "official stance" on plans for the ROK to send 50,000 metric tons of rice to the DPRK via the World Food Programme (WFP). © Korea Risk Group.
