The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Thursday called for stopping verbal and military provocations between the two sides of the Korean Peninsula and taking practical measures to prevent a "nuclear-disaster," the official KCNA news agency reported. The appeal was made by the National Defense Commission in a three-point "important proposal," which said the whole inter-Korea relations could be thawed, including issues like separated families, if the two sides could make concerted efforts to implement the proposals starting Jan. 30, said the KCNA.
