S. Korea not to invite N. Korea to world prosecutors summit
South Korea said Thursday it will not invite North Korea to an international conference of top prosecutors later this month.
The decision is a reflection of lingering tensions with North Korea over Pyongyang's two deadly attacks on the South last year that killed 50 South Koreans.
The North has so far denied its involvement in the sinking of a South Korean warship and said its shelling of a frontline South Korean island was a self-defensive measure against South Korea's military drills.
Seoul plans to host the fourth World Summit of Prosecutors General, Attorneys General and Chief Prosecutors from June 29 to July 2.
The meeting will bring together senior prosecution officials from more than 110 countries.
