Korea talks collapse before taking off

[TheDemSocialist]

SEOUL, South Korea - Warring neighbours North Korea and South Korea Tuesday called off their planned peace negotiations less than 24 hour before the talks were due to take off in Seoul.This has dashed any peace hopes between the two sides after months of war rhetoric that also saw North Korea conducting its third nuclear test and launching a long range ballistic missile capable of carrying atomic warheads.
South Korea Tuesday informed that the high-level talks will not take place as per the schedule. It comes a day after the two sides agreed Monday to the two-day talks.
The two nations were earlier making final preparations that had earned them praise from the US for efforts to ease heightened tension in the Korean Peninsula.
The two-day talks were expected to focus on reopening a jointly run industrial zone shut down earlier this year after North Korea closed the border and pulled out 53,000 of its workers during a particularly icy period in intergovernmental relations.
"There will be no talks tomorrow," South Korea's Unification Ministry spokesperson Kim Hyung-Seok said.
