SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea is willing to help the North Korean economy, but no major aid will be provided until Pyongyang's nuclear problem is resolved, the office of South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun said Wednesday.
"We have a policy to actively support the North Korean economy stand on its feet," Roh told German leaders Tuesday, according to a statement from his office. "But only when the North's nuclear problem is resolved serious aid can be possible."
Despite the international standoff over Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program, Seoul has remained firm in its stance that humanitarian aid to the North will continue. However, it has repeatedly stressed that no "major" aid will be provided until the nuclear problem was resolved.
