'A year ago, the North Korean leader appeared to listen attentively to the words of President Moon on the footbridge, but now he is blatantly ignoring the South.'

North and South Korea Saturday struck different notes as they marked the first anniversary of a summit between their leaders that fuelled a whirlwind of diplomacy which has died down amid deadlock over Pyongyang's denuclearisation.[SEOUL] North and South Korea Saturday struck different notes as they marked the first anniversary of a summit between their leaders that fuelled a whirlwind of diplomacy which has died down amid deadlock over Pyongyang's denuclearisation.

Mr Moon, who brokered the first meeting between the two mercurial leaders, has tried to salvage the diplomacy although the North has remained largely unresponsive.Since Hanoi, the North has not attended any of the weekly meetings of the heads of their joint liaison office in Kaesong, and has not taken part in other joint projects.

"A grave situation is being created that may see a return to the past of reaching catastrophe in the thickening dangers of war," it said in a lengthy statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency .Mr Moon and Kim met three times last year - including a second impromptu encounter after Trump threatened to cancel the Singapore summit just weeks before it was due.

"A year ago, the North Korean leader appeared to listen attentively to the words of President Moon on the footbridge , but now he is blatantly ignoring the South," the paper said.
