Discussion of Cheonan incident postponed indefinitely.

PYONGYANG, July 13 (Itar-Tass) - Discussion of the sinking of South Korea's Cheonan corvette with participation of North Korean
representatives and the U.N. troops command due to be held on Tuesday, has been postponed at the request of North Korea, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reports.

North Korea's army representatives have postponed the talks "for
administrative reasons", a representative from the U.N. troops command
said. Talks on reasons behind the sinking of the South Korean warship with
46 sailors on board on March 26 were to be held in the Demilitarised Zone.
An international expert team, including specialists from Australia,
the USA and Sweden, confirmed that a torpedo from the North Korea's
submarine had sunk the corvette. The DPRK rejected fully the accusation
and called the incident a provocation by the USA and South Korea.
Pyongyang has repeatedly demanded from South Korea to let a group of
specialists from the State Defense Committee to the site of the incident
to look into the circumstances of the sinking, but South Korea has
repeatedly turned down the request.
The U.N. Security Council has condemned the attack on the Cheonan
corvette, however, it has not named the party to blame for the tragedy. A
U.N. statement said that the Security Council disapproves of the attack
and is concerned deeply about the event. The statement contains appeals to
undertake relevant and peaceful measures towards those responsible for the
accident. The Security Council also said it acknowledged North Korea's
response that it has nothing to do with the accident.
