SEOUL, March 15 (Xinhua) -- South Korean President Park Geun-hye on Tuesday urged the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to come to a path for change amid escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula.
Park told a Cabinet meeting that if Pyongyang continues unreasonable provocations and strong confrontations with the international community while refraining from coming to a path for change, the DPRK will walk a path of destroying itself.
The president said that despite strong sanctions from the international society and South Korea, the DPRK continued its provocative remarks like a pre-emptive nuclear strike, expressed its willingness to conduct another nuclear test and continued reckless threats such as the launch of short-range missiles.
Her comments came after top DPRK leader Kim Jong Un warned of impending tests of nuclear warheads and ballistic rockets.
