청와대, 북 탄도미사일 발사 도발에 NSC 상임위 개최
We start with the reaction to North Korea's latest provocation...
The South Korean government was quick to respond to the North's test-firing Wednesday of two mid-range ballistic missiles.
The National Security Council convened an emergency meeting to assess the situation. President Park Geun-hye warned Pyongyang that its actions only serve to further isolate it from the rest of the international community.
Song Ji-sun reports.
Just a couple of hours after Pyongyang's missile launches, the Presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae convened a National Security Council meeting, chaired by NSC chief Kim Kwan-jin.
The council analyzed Pyongyang's missile capabilities based on the trajectory of the ballistic missiles launched Wednesday,... and discussed countermeasures, both on defense and diplomatic fronts.
Later in the afternoon, President Park attended the National Unification Advisory Council meeting, as scheduled.
Over 500 advisors gathered from the Americas, Japan and China... to discuss the path to peaceful unification of the two Koreas.
Park expressed appreciation to those building international support for unification on the Korean peninsula.
Although she did not directly mention Wednesday morning's missile launches, Park warned North Korea to refrain from further provocations... and to abandon its nuclear weapons program.
"If Pyongyang continues to push forward with its provocations, no country in the world will build ties with North Korea, and no organization will lend a helping hand to Pyongyang. The North Korean regime must realize that only complete isolation and self-destruction await at the end of reckless provocations."
"Against North Korea's continued provocations... President Park once again stressed the need for national unity towards unification... and called on the people to diligently work towards the peace and prosperity of the nation.
Song Ji-sun, Arirang News."
