South Korea pulling up the remains of the Cheonan warship
International relations with North Korea have been at an all-time low after the sinking of the South Korean warship, but many hoped that things were looking up when North Korea’s military agreed to meet with the U.N. Command to discuss the Cheonan torpedo incident. Those hopes were crushed when North Korea suddenly canceled the meeting, which was planned for Tuesday, citing “administrative reasons.”
The meeting would have been the first communication between North Korea and the U.N. Command since the sinking, which killed 46 South Korean sailors and drew the wrath of nearly every UN country. South Korea pulled up evidence allegedly proving that North Korea had been behind the attack, but North Korea has yet to admit any involvement.
According to the AP, the U.N. Command, which is led by America, recently investigated if the Cheonan attack violated the armistice that ended the Korean War, and hoped the meeting would act as an opportunity for North Korea and the U.S. to resume dialogue regarding international disarmament.
Should the UN keep trying to hold talks with North Korea, or is it no longer any use? Tell us what you think.
