Saenuri Party rules out NPAD suggestion on May 24 sanctions 김무성 5.24 조치 해제 건의

South Korea′s ruling Saenuri Party says it′s not the right time to talk about the possible removal of the so－called ′May 24th sanctions′ imposed on North Korea. The party′s chairman， Kim Moo－sung， says it would be inappropriate to request that President Park Geun－hye lift the set of measures imposed on Pyongyang at this time. Kim′s remarks come a day after his main opposition party counterpart Moon Jae－in said the rival parties should jointly submit a proposal to the president suggesting the May 24th sanctions be lifted. North Korea has previously demanded the removal of the sanctions， imposed in retaliation for the sinking of a South Korean naval ship in 2010， as a precondition for resuming inter－Korean talks.
