청와대 내일 오전 7시 NSC 상임위서 고위급 회담 연기 등 남북 현안 논의 "현 상황 같은 그림을 그리기 위한 진통" Officials at the nation's top office held closed door meetings all day.This follows North Korea's pre-dawn cancellation of the high-level talks and its threat to scrap next month's historic summit... claiming to have no interest in a "one-sided" affair meant to pressure Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons. In a short text message to reporters late afternoon, President Moon's communications secretary, Yoon Young-chan..., said there hasn't been much change or progress in Cheongwadae's position from early morning... that they are focused on trying to figure out the true intention behind Pyongyang's sudden departure from its latest diplomatic outreach... adding the current situation is viewed as an extremely difficult process in trying to arrive at the same picture. Meanwhile the standing committee of the National Security Council will convene its weekly meeting at 7 am Thursday local time to discuss the North's sudden change in tone.
