April 23, 1973	Telegram from Pyongyang, No.061.150, Urgent, SECRET The Romanians expect tensions to rise in inter-Korean relations after North Korea is accused of sending a group of spies to South Korea.

April 12, 1973	Telegram from Pyongyang, SECRET, No.061.121, Urgent A Romanian diplomat reports on the second session of the DPRK Supreme People’s Assembly. The meeting focused on increasing the state budget to accomplish the 6-year plan with particular focus on heavy industry, machinery, raw material extraction, and energy production. The meeting also noted the need to increase the standard of living for the North Korean people. Nonetheless, no mention was made on collaborating with the outside world for economic and technological cooperation.
April 11, 1973	Telegram from Pyongyang, No.061.119, Urgent, SECRET Conversation between Romanian and Soviet representatives reveals that North Koreans are slowly withdrawing from direct contacts with South Korea. Instead, Pyongyang is seeking external support for its position.

On another note, North Korea asks the Soviets to forbid South Koreans to enter the Soviet Union for the University Olympics held there.
April 4, 1973	Telegram from Pyongyang, No.061.113, Urgent, SECRET KWP Centeral Committee member Kim Yeongnam explains to the Romanian representative that the DPRK proposed changes in the North-South Coordination Committee meeting to ease tensions and transform the armistice into a peace treaty. Kim blames the South Korean hawks and separatists who abide by the interests of the US and Japan for the lack of progress. Despite the impasse, the North Koreans look to the internal dissent against Park Chung Hee in South Korea as a sign of support for Pyongyang.
