SEOUL (AP) - south : Korea is
demanding that North Korea apologize for
a terrorist bombing before any'efforts to
unify the two countries can’ begin, — ef-
fectively rejecting the North's proposal for
multinational talks on unification: -

North Korea, ‘in -a. “surprise “move,.
proposed a three- “way conference Tuesday
involving Its government, South Korea ‘and
the United States in efforts to reunite, the
two Koreas; with each ‘maintaining its own
politcal system.

President ‘Reagan,’ at a i , state j dinner
Tuesday In’ Waslilrigton’ hoforing Chinese

Premier Zhao Zyang; suggested"a four-’ *:

way conference that would include China.

~ “Tn order to create conditions for peace .

and provide the foundation for ‘national:

authorities must, first of all, officially: or .

Sohn ‘said North Korea had refused to
accept responsibility for.a terrorist bom-
bing on Oct.. 9 in’ Rangoon that'killed 17 -
South Koreans, including cabinet mem-
bers. Two North Koreans have been con.
victed, in Burma in the ‘attack. ae

Sohn, reiterated South Korea's y 5 potition
that, unification talks ‘involve only ‘the
leaders of the South and North. Yet, without
specifically referting to Reagan’s proposal,
he raised the possibility of a much broader:
conférence.

If it would help create a favorable. in-
ternational environment for unification, he
said, ‘we think it ls desirable to have talks

participated in by nations concerned who
were directly or indirectly responsible for
