UNITED NATIONS, June 4 (Reuters) - South Korea handed the U.N. Security Council on Friday a letter complaining about North Korea's alleged sinking of a South Korean naval vessel in March and requesting action, diplomats said.
South Korea's U.N. Ambassador Park In-kook gave the letter to Mexican Ambassador Claude Heller, this month's president of the 15-nation council, they said.
In a brief statement to reporters, Park gave no details of what Seoul wanted the council to do or when it would like a meeting. "We expect some action by the Security Council commensurate with the gravity of the situation," he said.
