A coalition of liberal groups urged the Lee Myung-bak administration to abandon its current policies toward North Korea and implement inter-Korean summit agreements.

In a news conference in Seoul on Friday, they called on the government to abandon its so-called "denuclearization, opening, 3000 initiative," citing the North's nuclear declaration and destruction of its key nuclear facility.

The government's North Korea policy aims to denuclearize, open it up and raise its per capita national income to three-thousand U.S. dollars.

The group said the Lee administration should stop dragging its feet and jump on the peace bandwagon on the Korean Peninsula, apparently referring to a mood of dialogue among North Korea and other members of the six-party talks.

The group also said that despite ongoing dialogue between the North and other countries, dialogue between the two Koreas still remains severed, calling on the government to work to end the Cold War relations with the North.
