The ruling Uri Party Chairman Kim Keun-tae says inter-Korean dialogue should continue refuting an opposing party’s criticism of the collapse of the inter-Korean Cabinet-level talks.

Kim said Friday, in an extended meeting with the party leaders, that seeking inter-Korean dialogue is the nation’s last resort to maintaining peace on the Korean Peninsula.

The chairman also said that North Korea should be further isolated from the international community if it refuses to talk even with the South.

Meanwhile, floor leader Kim Han-gil also said that cross-border communication should continue to reduce differences between the two sides.
