Only 22 pct of S. Koreans say N. Korea trustworthy
SEOUL, June 25 (Yonhap) -- About one-fifth of South Koreans think North Korea is trustworthy, a poll said Thursday, the lowest level in a decade amid heightened tension over the communist state's recent belligerent acts.
The survey by Hyundai Economic Research Institute, a Seoul-based private think tank, showed 22.2 percent of the 623 respondents felt that North Korea could be trusted as a "partner for dialogue."
The percentage of those who thought North Korea trustworthy saw its highest of 52.3 percent in 2000, when a historic inter-Korean summit was held between then South Korean president Kim Dae-jung and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
