South Korea said Friday that it plans to continue humanitarian assistance to North Korea regardless of political considerations in a pledge that came after Pyongyang's missile launch over Japan.

North Korea fired a ballistic missile from Pyongyang one day after Seoul said it is considering offering US$8 million in aid to the North through U.N. agencies.

"The government has the basic stance that humanitarian assistance to infants and pregnant women in North Korea should be maintained regardless of political situations," Lee Eugene, vice spokesperson at Seoul's unification ministry, told a press briefing.

The government plans to decide whether to approve it next Thursday. If approved, it would mark the resumption of Seoul's aid to North Korea via U.N. organizations after a 21-month hiatus.

Some critics questioned the timing of Seoul's announcement as it came just days after the U.N. Security Council slapped fresh sanctions on Pyongyang. (Yonhap)
