Interestingly, South Korea's reaction to the missile controversy has been relatively nuanced, President Roh Moo-hyun's Uri Party merely urging Pyongyang to avoid endangering the reconciliation process between North and South Korea by testing the Taepodong-2 missile. Seoul also indicated the missile crisis would not affect current high-level economic talks between North and South Korea.
