‘가왕’ 조용필을 포옹한 이건희, 그 의미는?
삼성전자 이건희 회장이 삼성 신경영 20주년 기념 만찬 행사에서 축하 공연을 펼친 가수 조용필을 포옹해 화제가 되고 있다.지난 28일 밤 서울 신라호텔에서 이건희 주재로 350여명의 계열사 임원이 참석한 가운데 신경영 20주년을 기념하는 공식행사가 열렸다. 이 행사에서는 조용필 외에 가수 바다, 웅산 등 유명 아티스트들의 축하공연이 이뤄졌다.공연 마지막 순서를 장식한 것은 ‘가왕’ 조용필. 그가 마지막 곡인 ‘킬리만자로의 표범’까지 열창한 후 퇴장하기 위해 자리에서 일어선 이건희에게 다가서자, 이건희는 뜻밖에도 인사대신 따뜻한 포옹을 해 주위를 놀라게 했다.이에 대해 삼성의 한 관계자는 “평생 한길을 걸으며 도전을 멈추지 않았던 이 회장이 가수로서 비슷한 길을 걸어온 조용필에 대해 동질감에서 우러나온 애정과 경의를 참지 못하고 표시한 것으로 보인다”라고 말했다.한편 조용필은 이건희와의 개인적인 친분으로 참석을 결정한 것으로 알려졌다. <관련 영문 기사>Samsung chief’s u

"北 동창리 미사일 발사장 추가 공사"
북한이 지난해말 장거리 미사일 '은하 3호' 을 발사한 서해 동창리 발사장에서 새로운 공사를 잇따라 진행하고 있다는 분석이 28일(현지시간) 제기됐다.미국 존스홉킨스대 국제관계대학원(SAIS) 산하 한미연구소는 이날 보고서에서 "최근 촬영한 상업용 위성사진을 분석한 결과 북한이 동창리 '서해 위성발사장'에서 대규모 건설프로젝트를 진행하고 있는 것으로 파악됐다"고 밝혔다.지난 9일 촬영된 위성사진에는 이동식 미사일 발사대로 추정되는 지점이 관측됐다. 이는 지난 8월에 포착됐던 발사대와는 다른 것으로, 발사대 추가 건설 가능성이 있다고 보고서는 설명했다.또 미사일 조립건물 등에서 이 지점으로 연결되는 새로운 도로와 2개의 새로운 다리도 건설되고 있는 것으로 나타났다.보고서는 특히 새로운 도로는 중장비가 이동할 수 있을 만큼 견고하고 넓게 닦여지고 있다면서 이동식 미사일을 위한 이동•조립•발사 장비(TELs)를 위한 것일 가능성이 있다고 전했다.그러면서 현재 진척 속도로 미뤄 내년 중반까

Japan’s push for collective self-defense stirs dispute
Japan’s push for the right to collective self-defense is posing a tricky question to regional powers: whether it is pursuing militarism that would threaten peace, or seeking its suitable security role that would contribute to regional and global stability.Seoul and Beijing, two major victims of Japan’s past imperialism, are wary of any possibility of its military recrudescence, while a financially strained Washington apparently welcomes Tokyo’s desire to assume more security responsibilities.A
