North Korea said Saturday that a confederation formed by the two Koreas would be the best way for the Korean Peninsula to be unified and accused the South for attempting unification by absorbing the North.
 
The Rodong Sinmun, the North’s official mouthpiece, said attempts to unify policies and create conflict between political systems reflected South Korea's hopes to invade the North. It added that these actions stem from Seoul’s animosity toward Pyongyang and is causing relations between the two Koreas to suffer.
 
The North said the reason inter-Korean relations were frigid last year was because of the South's policies aimed at unification through absorption, saying such conflict would only bring about a nuclear war.
 
It said unification under a federal system would be the only way for the two Koreas to unify peacefully, leaving respective ideologies and policies intact.
 
The paper added that South Korea acknowledged that the two Koreas should go in this direction through the agreement it signed during the inter-Korean summit in 2000. It said if the two Koreas come together, unification under a federal system could be possible.
