North Korea on Monday marked the 15th anniversary of the 6.15 Joint Declaration by suggesting the terms for North-South dialogue, which experts generally said were non-starters.

The statement’s five pre-conditions included an “independent solution” for unification, not pursuing a “unifying system,” ending the U.S.-ROK joint military training exercises, abolishing the legal and institutional obstacles for dialogue and “respect(ing) the 6.15 declaration and 10.4 announcement.”

The statement expressed regret over the suspension of past agreements, due to the change in South Korean administrations. Pointing to this year’s historical significance, the statement called for a “great transition” to open the era of unification.
