The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) objected to South Korean preconditions for dialogue, calling them barriers to reconciliation, official newspaper Rodong Sinmun said on Tuesday.

South Korea insists the DPRK denuclearization is a precondition for reconciliation and cooperation between the north and south, and the nuclear issue should be put on the table in inter-Korean authorities' talks.

The report said reconciliation, unity and cooperation between the DPRK and South Korea was a clamant task and the DPRK had already taken a series of measures to realize that goal.

The DPRK's willingness to improve the inter-Korean relations hadn't changed, it said, adding that the DPRK would continue to keep this attitude in the future.

The report emphasized the future of inter-Korean relationship completely depended on the attitude of South Korea. South Korea should abandon its narrowminded and outdated conceptions and work with the DPRK to seek common ground while putting aside differences so the national unification process could advance, it said.
