[ Cho Han-beom ] The most important thing in capitalist economic commerce is the stability of property . There was no protection at all for capital investment in international commerce . This incident has caused a loss of credibility in international commerce . In fact, normal economic cooperation between the two Koreas is impossible under these circumstances . It is an act that pours cold water on the relationship between the authorities of both sides, but the bigger thing is that in a situation where the safety of investment in North Korea is not guaranteed, inter-Korean private exchanges and economic cooperation are in fact fatally negative .
