'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)

South Korean, Russian Admirals to Discuss Ties

By Jung Sung-ki

Vice Adm. Sidenko Konstantin Semenovich, commander of Russia's Pacific Fleet, arrived in Korea Monday for his second visit here, the Navy said Monday.

He will meet with South Korean Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jung Ok-keun Wednesday and discuss ways of promoting cooperation between the two sides in their fight against piracy in Somali waters, it said.

They will also discuss ways to better ensure the safety of passageways for merchant ships in the Pacific.

South Korea and Russia are each operating a naval unit in the Gulf of Aden to fight pirates under a U.S.-led multinational drive.

"The two will have talks over ways to cooperate in their fight against Somali pirates and promote the security of maritime passageways in the Northeast Asian region that is emerging as the center of the global economy," a Navy spokesman said.

Semenovich and Jung will also discuss plans to commemorate the 20th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries next year, he said.

Next year also marks the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Russian Pacific Fleet, which Semenovich has commanded since December 2007.

Semenovich's four-day visit marks the ninth exchange between high-ranking naval officers of the two countries.
