'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Text Fwd: U.N. Security Council to discuss N. Korea's latest missile launches: Seoul envoy

Yonhap News
By Lee Chi-dong

SEOUL, July 6 (Yonhap) -- The U.N. Security Council will soon discuss how to deal with North Korea's firing of ballistic missiles over the weekend, which violated the council's existing resolutions against the communist nation, South Korea's top nuclear envoy said Monday.

"The U.N. Security Council will discuss the matter. The level of its response remains to be seen," Wi Sung-lac told reporters after meeting here with his Japanese counterpart, Akitaka Saiki.

He said the North's test-launch of the ballistic missiles, seven in all, on Saturday clearly violates U.N. Security Council resolutions adopted after Pyongyang's missile and nuclear tests in 2006 and its second nuclear experiment in May this year.

Wi said his first face-to-face consultations with Saiki in three months focused on ways to counter the North's continued provocations.

"The two sides agreed on the need to faithfully implement U.N. Security Council resolutions 1718 and 1874, as well as continue efforts to resume dialogue (with North Korea) at the same time," he said.

Wi said ongoing diplomatic consultations for five-way talks are partly aimed at restarting the stalled denuclearization process. The talks would be among South Korea, the U.S., China, Russia and Japan, Pyongyang's dialogue partners in the six-party nuclear forum that North Korea is boycotting.

In a related move, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Wu Dawei, who chairs the disarmament talks, is scheduled to visit Seoul from July 12-14 as part of a regional tour. Wu visited Russia and also plans to travel to the U.S. and Japan. It is unclear whether he will visit North Korea.

The South Korean negotiator, however, cautioned against expecting an immediate breakthrough.

"It is still too early to predict concrete progress. We are not in a stage yet to produce tangible results," he said.
