North Korea on Saturday rejected a proposal by South Korea's conservative new president to establish liaison offices in both countries, calling it a public relations exercise aimed at covering up deteriorating ties on the divided peninsula.
President Lee Myung-bak's idea of setting up the liaison offices in Pyongyang and Seoul was "anti-unification garbage," the North's main Rodong Sinmun newspaper was reported as saying.
Lee made the offer, his first overture to the communist nation, in an interview with The Washington Post last week during a visit to the United States, saying the countries need a better channel of communication.
