President Lee Myung-bak heads for a lunch with U.S. Republican senators including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (second from right) and Rep. Chung Mong-joon (right) of the ruling Grand National Party, chief of the Korea-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Council, Tuesday at Cheong Wa Dae. (Yonhap News) Lee(President of South Korea) exchanged views with the U.S. senators on the war going countries security ties while pending free trade agreement as well as recent developments with the Korean Peninsula. He stated that it was most important for the two allies to join efforts in dealing with issues related to North Korea. Seoul has maintained its position that they will not return to the six-nation nuclear talks unless the North admits and apologizes for the attacks on the naval ship Cheonan and Yeonpyeong Island last year. I believe that North Korea's attack is gathering more attention as North is on their downfall invloving their food shortage and ask for an aid. North must apologize South Korea in order to get a stable support.
