firmly rejected charges that his country was responsible
for the sinking of the South Korean warship Cheonan,
in a press conference in New York on
Tuesday (Wednesday, June 16 in Asia).
Ambassador Sin warned that Pyongyang would respond
militarily to any Security Council condemnation over the
sinking of the South Korea vessel, which Seoul blamed
on North Korea. Sin cast doubts on the credibility of
international Joint Investigation Group, by South Korea
branding its findings “a complete fabrication from A to Z”.
