"The North must never venture to carry out another provocation nor will we tolerate it if they do so again," Lee said in a speech to celebrate Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule in 1945. Tensions have risen sharply since late May when South Korea and the United States, citing a multinational investigation, accused the North of torpedoing one of Seoul's warships near the contested border. The North vehemently denies involvement in the March incident in which 46 sailors were killed. Relations worsened further after North Korea a week ago seized a South Korean fishing boat off the east coast and fired an artillery barrage into waters near the disputed Yellow Sea border. Lee proposed a "new paradigm" in relations, saying the North should make a "courageous" change. The Koreas "cannot afford to repeat the unfortunate history punctuated by mutual distrust and confrontation", he said. "It is about time Pyongyang looked straight at reality, made a courageous change and came up with a drastic decision. It should not be afraid of making change," he added. Japan's annexation of the Korean Peninsula ended on August 15, 1945, when Tokyo surrendered to the US-led allies in World War II. The Korean peninsula was then divided into a communist North and a capitalist South. Lee unveiled a multi-step reunification plan, saying the Koreas should first form a "peace community" and beef up economic ties. "What is most important in this connection is the denuclearisation of the peninsula," he said. The next step would be to form an economic community through comprehensive exchanges and cooperation which would contribute to dramatic economic development in the North, he said. Finally, the Koreas would be able to remove "the wall of different systems and establish a community of the Korean nation that will ensure dignity, freedom and basic rights of all individuals", he said. "Through this process, we can ultimately bring about the peaceful unification of Korea," he said. He also proposed a special tax to fund the huge cost of reunification. Lee, who is halfway through his single five-year term, has advocated a hard-line approach towards Pyongyang unlike his liberal predecessors. In his biggest cabinet reshuffle a week ago, Lee kept his foreign, defence and unification ministers in place, signalling little change in his policy.
