Inter-Korean ties have been cold since February 2008, when President Lee took office and related future economic aid to the North with its progress towards nuclear disarmament.President Lee made a point of breaking with the policy of his country's unpopular Sunshine north, offering a harder line than the one presented by his predecessor, Roh Moo-hyun.Since then, relations have deteriorated further.Pyongyang has repeatedly been accused of causing Seoul with missile tests at long range. And in 2010, he was also charged - by Seoul and others in the international community - have torpedoed a South Korean naval vessel, killing 46 sailors. He denies any involvement.In the same year, the North has justified its bombardment of Yeonpyeong Island South saying it was caused by a live fire exercise conducted jointly by the South and the United States near the border of North and South Korea Yellow Sea.He was the first direct act of aggression since the Korean civil war.Technically, the two Koreas remain at war because a peace agreement was never formally accepted.Succession, Kim Jung UN as a great leader of North Korea has raised fears that the plan may desire to reassert his authority with a new act of aggression.Author: Zulfikar Abbany, David Levitz (AFP, AP, DPA, Reuters)Editor: Ben Knight
