SEOUL, Sept. 29 (Yonhap) -- Cheong Wa Dae on Tuesday rejected allegations that the timing of the military's inspection of a mine blast site was tied to President Lee Jae Myung's remarks on sanctions relief for North Korea ahead of last week's U.N. General Assembly.
The main opposition People Power Party has accused the government of delaying an inspection of the site due to concerns Lee's call for sanctions relief would be undermined in the event North Korea is found responsible for the mine blast that injured three South Korean soldiers inside the Demilitarized Zone last week.
The military on Monday announced preliminary findings that the explosion was highly likely to have been caused by illegally planted North Korean mines.
"The Joint Chiefs of Staff and the U.N. Command planned and decided (on the timing of the inspection) purely based on a military judgment in consideration of the suggestions of field commanders," a presidential official said. "The military's on-site inspection regarding the mine accident has nothing to do with the president's U.N. speech."
Lee had said in an interview with The New York Times ahead of his attendance at the U.N. General Assembly that he believes there is "significant value in a trade-off between sanctions, which are not particularly effective anyway, and a stop to the development of additional nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missile technology."

首尔,9月29日(韩联社)——青瓦台周二驳斥了有关军方对地雷爆炸现场进行检查的时机与李在明总统在上周联合国大会前就朝鲜制裁解除发表的言论有关的指控。
主要反对党国民力量党指责政府拖延对该地点的检查,原因是担心如果朝鲜被认定为上周在非军事区内造成三名韩国士兵受伤的地雷爆炸事件的幕后黑手,李明博要求解除制裁的呼吁将会受到破坏。
军方周一公布初步调查结果,爆炸极有可能是由朝鲜非法埋设的地雷引起的。
一位总统官员表示:“参谋长联席会议和联合国军司令部完全是根据军事判断,并参考一线指挥官的建议,制定并决定了(此次视察的时间)。军方对矿难的现场视察与总统在联合国的讲话没有任何关系。”
李在出席联合国大会之前接受《纽约时报》采访时表示,他认为“制裁(无论如何都不是特别有效)与停止研发更多核武器和洲际弹道导弹技术之间进行权衡具有重要价值”。
