North Korea is harshly criticizing South Korean President Park Geun-hye's proposal on Korean unification that she made during her state visit to Germany.

The Rodong Sinmun newspaper, the gazette of the North's ruling Workers' Party, said Tuesday that Park was unabashed to say there is a lot to learn from the unification of East and West Germany. The daily said she curried favor with Germans saying Korea wishes to take after the German model of unification.

The newspaper also said the president chatters about her so-called unification vision alongside provocative attempts to harm North Koreans by bringing in U.S. military power and throwing out words such as sanctions, nuclear threats and provocations.

The paper also took issue with President Park's remark on inter-Korean exchanges during her speech at the Dresden University of Technology.

The paper, an official mouthpiece of the regime, said South Korean authorities have until now hindered civic-level cross-border exchanges and rejected a request for a modest raise for North Korean workers at the joint Gaeseong Industrial Complex.

It said the South's babbling of co-prosperity or reintegrating the Korean people is deceptive and misleading public opinion.

The North's official Korean Central News Agency on Monday waged similar verbal attacks on President Park's speech in Dresden.
