The Unification Ministry is prohibiting South Koreans from going to North Korea to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the signing of the June 15th Joint Declaration.

The ministry recently rejected a South Korean group's request to travel to the North to attend the ceremony marking the signing in Pyongyang.

The ministry said it could now allow the trip due to heightened inter-Korean tensions over the sinking of the Cheonan.

Representatives from South and North Korea and overseas Korean communities had planned to hold a joint ceremony in Pyongyang after holding working-level contacts in the North Korean border city of Gaeseong in May.
