North Korea drops references to unification from constitution

(AFP/Al Arabiya) North Korea has deleted all references to uniting with South Korea from its constitution, a document reviewed by AFP on Wednesday showed, underscoring Pyongyang’s push for a more hostile policy towards Seoul. North and South Korea remain technically at war because their 1950-53 war ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty. Pyongyang’s constitution had previously contained a clause stating that it aimed “to realize the unification of the motherland.” – North Korea drops references to unification from constitution
