South Korea to intensify border broadcasts

South Korea is to ramp up efforts to persuade ordinary North Koreans that they are being misled by Pyongyang's plan to develop the country's struggling economy and nuclear weapons in tandem, according to a local report Wednesday.

The plan is to almost double the number of stationary and mobile broadcast stations at the inter-Korean border within this year, and boost the reach of their powerful loudspeakers to more than 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) -- so that Seoul will have 21 fixed points of broadcast and 12 moveable systems at its disposal.

A military official was quoted by news agency Yonhap as spelling out the aim "to correctly inform the North Korean military and people of the reality that the Kim regime is misleading its people and hurting the economy by engaging in the dual policy of seeking nuclear and economic development at the same time"...
